Christopher Bunkoff

The Villages, Florida - Christopher Bunkoff, 91, was called to his final resting place surrounded by family and caretakers at his assisted living home on Monday, January 12, 2015.

After 65 years of marriage, Vera predeceased her beloved husband in 2007. Chris is survived by three sons, Rick (Dee) Bunkoff, Jim (Diane) Bunkoff and Steve (Michelle) Bunkoff, 8 grandchildren and 18 great-grandchildren that he cherished.

Chris served in the US Navy from 1942 to 1945. Chris and Vera co-owned Bunkoff General Contractors until they retired and moved to Florida in 1987. The fourth generation currently manages the company.

Chris has left a legacy of deep faith, love of family and an extraordinary work ethic. He was an amazing man; kind and loving to everyone he came in contact with.

Chris had an unquenchable thirst for both acrylic painting and learning all that he could on his computer and was active in both until the last month of his life.
