After a prolonged battle with Alzheimer's Disease, Christopher "Chris" Pantaleoni has died.

Originally of Arlington, Vermont, born in 1944 to Elizabeth Pantaleoni nee Robinson and Raoul Pantaleoni, he subsequently resided in St. Louis, Boston, and San Diego. He graduated from the University of Arizona in 1967, after which he served in the army during the Vietnam War. Following his service, Christopher was a private pilot, a real estate appraiser, an independent investment consultant, and finally a photographer, making a profession out of a lifelong passion.

Chris was known for his love of reading, enjoyment of musicals, passion for travel, incredible generosity,  and most of all, his sense of humor.

Chris married Susan Pantaleoni nee Zoeller in 1987. His love for Susan is remembered strongly by his son, who saw how ardently his father loved Susan, even as Alzheimer's disease ran its course. Chris always smiled when Susan came into the room, always wanted another kiss or hug, and most of all, always wanted her to hold his hand. From his marriage with Susan, Chris had one child, David.

Chris is survived by his wife, Susan, son, David, younger brother, Jonathan, and eldest sister, Valerie.
