Chris Carey
December 3, 1981-February 12, 2024
While Chris was not part of the sewing community, without him, Al’s Alley never would have found a new home. He was incredibly supportive during the transition, and did what he could to help, when he wasn't working. Chris battled a short run with Esophageal Cancer, passing just 7 months from diagnosis. He was a loving husband and wonderful father, gone too soon for these young boys.
