To Gail and all the family. I was so sorry to see of Chris’s passing. In the short time that we had connected, I so enjoyed talking with him. May his memories be a blessing to you all and Gods peace be on you. Big Hugs from Kentucky
Dear Gail and Poulos family,
I am writing to you to express my gratitude to your husband and father, Chris Poulos. Chris had an incredible impact on my life. Though I cannot repay Chris, I can at least share my story with you: My father, Bill Hubner, served as a medic with Chris in the US Air Force. After Chris’s miraculous conversion to Jesus Christ, Chris persuaded my father to attend Brigham Young University. It was at BYU that my father met my mother. My father was baptized and became a member of the Church of Jesus Christ. My parents married in the Salt Lake Temple. I was born, the second of three brothers, into a Latter-Day Saint home where I was taught the gospel of Jesus Christ. My brothers and I were each baptized. We each served as missionaries. We were blessed to marry good women in the temple of God. We had children and raised them with a knowledge of God. They each grew up to be fine men and women. We served in positions of responsibility in the Church of Jesus Christ. Though callings, rank or position do not matter to the Lord, it may be meaningful to you to know that we each served as bishops and the youngest, also, as a stake president. I tell you this to give you a vision of the impact your husband and father had on one man, my father, and through my father’s conversion alone, Chris brought thousands of souls to Christ. I am one of them. I thank God for Chris Poulos!

Hi Gail,
We watched Chris's service via Zoom. It was a joy to see all your children to get up and share their memories of their dad. They did such a nice job. We are keeping you and your family in our prayers.
Love,
Steve and Jo Anne Bartley
Dear Gail and Family: It is with sadness that we read about the passing of Chris. He had a wonderful life and provided each of us with a more positive out look about our lives. His personality and sense of humor made us better people by just knowing him and associating with him. He will be truly missed. We have such fond memories of him and you in the Sharon Stake. We are grateful for the Plan of Happiness and the Savior's Atonement. We send our love and prayers. Connie and Bob Parsons
As a child we shared every Thanksgiving with the Poulos family. I looked forward to that day every year. With two large families coming together it was always a momentous occasion with mountains of food and lots of fun. I remember all the men watching the football game, all the kids playing games, and all the women talking and, I'm sure, cleaning the piles of dishes. Brother Poulos was always so happy to talk to me and was always loving, kind and generous. Later in life, even as an adult when I went to visit him with my parents, Wayne and Lorna Shute, he would give me a big hug and be genuinely interested in me and my family. I have shed tears thinking of how he will be missed by all who knew him. He was a dear friend to me and my family. I send all my love and sympathy to all his wonderful family and especially to our dear Gail at this time of his loss.
With much love,
Sara Shute Kopp

I remember once at Thanksgiving dinner Chris called me " Gordyhondros" and the name stuck! I didn't like it at the time but lots off people call me that occasionally, even my wife. Your legacy still lingers!
Thanks Chris for your love, your family, the relationship my family had with yours growing up, your friendship and your wonderful attitude. You were always fun and the times our families spent together still rattle around my head 40 years later.
Gail, we love you and Cheri and I love to see you on our walks sometimes. God bless you.
