Obituary of Christopher J. Herrle

Christopher J. Herrle, age 30, of Philadelphia, PA. passed away January 29, 2014 at his home. Chris attended Drexel University in Philadelphia where he studied computer programming. He worked as a software tester for several companies in the Philadelphia area and was very good at his job. At heart, however, Chris was an artist. He had worked as an apprentice glass blower for a while and loved the time he spent working with glass. He had a beautiful singing voice and performed as often as his schedule would allow at karaoke nights in Philly. He was an actor and had appeared in several productions while in college and in community theatre in the years following. He was guitarist and a bass player and composed many original songs. He loved his family and was truly a wonderful son and brother. He will be sorely missed. Chris leaves his parents, Kenneth P. and Martha (Porter) Herrle, of Old Saybrook, his sisters, Grace E. Herrle, of Washington DC, Elizabeth L. Herrle, of Portland, Maine, Helen K. Herrle, of Westbrook, Katherine E. Herrle and Claire A. Herrle, both of Old Saybrook, his brothers, David J. Herrle and Joel K. Herrle, both of Westbrook, his paternal grandparents, Jack N. and Eileen Herrle, of Wallingford, and his maternal grandmother, Anne R. Porter, of Gaithersburg, Maryland. Visitation will be held at Robinson, Wright, & Weymer Funeral Home, 34 Main Street in Centerbrook on Monday, February 3, 2014 from 6:00PM to 8:00PM. Funeral services and interment in the Riverside Cemetery in Old Saybrook will be privately held by Chris's family.
