So very sorry to hear of Chris's passing. He was a wonderful dentist and a wonderful man to have known. He will be missed by all our family.

Dear Lisa, Eric and Kevin - We have good memories of Chris from the time spent in arenas at the many hockey games the boys played in together. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this most difficult time.

I am so sorry for your loss. I knew Chris back in St. Catharines where his humor and kindness helped me survive high school.

To the Guiltinan family and friends, I am so entirely sorry for the loss in your lives. Dr. Guiltinan was an amazing dentist. He really was the best dentist i've ever had. I always looked forward to going into his practice, because he made it such a pleasant experience for me--me being someone who was never a fan of the dentist until I went to Dr. Guiltinan. He was a great man and he is irreplaceable. I will never forget such an amazing person.

Lisa, the entire unit of cctc is thinking of you and your family. Our hearts are with you.

Dear Bunty I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you, Roy and all of your family. Gone too soon.

Lisa, Eric, and Kevin: We were so sorry to hear about Chris. His sense of humour will be missed. Our thoughts are with you in this difficult time. Mike, Dawn, Devin, and Eric

Dear Lisa & Family, Megan, Erin & Bunt: I am so very sorry for your great loss. When I heard the news, tears filled my eyes with a great loss and sadness. Your family has been part of our entire family for many years. We have known Christopher since he was a little boy and have watched him grow into an amazing man. He will be remembered for his contagious laughter and his great passion for life. Christopher knew how to embrace his friends with love and true friendship and find laughter and the freedom to be himself. When you walked into a room, he made you feel special and always took the time to talk with you. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family.

Dear Lisa & family, I was so saddened to hear of your sudden loss. My thoughts & prayers are with all of you at this difficult time.

Thinking about you and your family during this tragic time. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

To all the Guiltinan family: I was so shocked and so sad to hear that Chris passed away. I have known Chris for many years and attended High School with him. Just recently I re-connected with Megan and found out Chris was a dentist in town. I switched dentists and I sure am glad that I did as it was great to touch base again and swap stories. Chris was an extremely funny, upbeat, warm wonderful person and the world won't be near as nice a place without him. I am so sorry for your devestating loss and my heart goes out to all of you. Sincerely Lisa

Lisa, Eric and Kevin, we are so shocked and saddened to hear of Chris’s sudden passing. We have such fond memories of Chris and your family when we were neighbours on Hellmuth Ave. Know that our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Rob, Anna, Andrew, Clayton and Katie.

Dear Lisa, Kevin and Eric....my thoughts are with you at this most difficult time......Chris was a remarkable person...he will be remembered by many

Lisa and Family, my deepest condolences on the tragic loss of your beloved husband, dad and brother. Chris and I met in Grade 7 and were great friends right through the end of high school and into undergrad. We lost touch for many years, but reconnected a couple of years ago at the SWC reunion and I never met a man with a more infectious personality and lust for life. May your memories of Chris keep you strong.

The world will never be the same without Chris in it, he brought sunshine and joy into everyone he met. He was so charming and brilliant with a sense of humour all of his own that had to make you laugh. He talked about his sons with such pride and love he was so very proud of them. Know that he will forever be a part of you.

I am so very sorry and saddened to learn of Christopher's passing. He was a remarkable poet and a rare soul who touched all he knew. My condolences to his wife and sons.

We were patients and friends of Chris for over 10 years. He was always professional and a wonderful dentist. He was a vibrant, generous and sensitive man. We especially enjoyed his unique brand of humour and can still hear his laugh. He will be sadly missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and his co-workers as they grieve this most tragic loss.

Dear Lisa, Eric & Kevin, So sorry to hear about Chris. We will always remember how welcoming your family was to us when Kyle was the new kid on the hockey team a few years ago. Chris was a kind man with a great laugh and will be missed by everyone who knew him. Please know that you are all in our thoughts and prayers.

From Chris's neighbours back in the beginning on South Dr in St. Catharines, Ron(Bonnie), Louise(David), Pamela(Joe), Louis(Annie) and Ingrid(Keith) offer their deepest condolences on Chris's sudden passing. To Erin,Elizabeth and Megan, we send our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Lisa, Today I came across the terrible news that Chris has died. I am so sorry. As a wife and a mom, I am heartbroken for you. And as someone who had the distinct pleasure of your husband's company in the dog park as well as the dentist chair, I am reeling from the loss. Your boys. How lucky they were to have had almost two decades with Chris as their father. They will be okay. I can't imagine a better example, a better mentor, a better man from whom to learn about life. They will take good care of you in the coming weeks and months. They've been taught well. My husband and I adopted our dog Ralph in 2003, and started going to Doige Park every morning to let him run, which is where we met Brutus and Jake...and their owner. It was shortly before your beloved Jake passed away, and I remember how emotional he was about it. I baked you brownies, because I could see that this was a family who loved each other - dogs included - wholeheartedly, and I wanted to give some comfort where it was needed. When we learned that Chris was a dentist, my husband and I started going to the practice he shared on Richmond. We were thrilled when he opened his own practice, but were able to visit him there only once before we left London in 2007. Since then, we have referred several friends to him, and I think of your family each time I pull out your old breadmaker that we bought at your yard sale. Every time we saw him, we were struck by his genuineness, his charisma, his sense of humour. That laugh. Really a grown-man giggle. It was impossible to walk away from a visit with him without feeling great. He infused life with energy and laughter. And he was just cool. I've read many comments today that describe his ability to make people feel special. I have to admit that I secretly believed that my husband and I were two of his favourite patients. Of course I now realize that this was his gift. He made a choice every day to really engage every person he met, and to take the time to connect with them. I can't say that we really knew him well, but the impact he had on our lives is real. He was a truly great man, and our hearts go out to you and your family. The Cowgers

So sorry to learn of this tragedy of the loss of such a young life. Our condolences to all the family.

Megan and family. I was so sorry to hear about your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

Our thoughts are with you Lisa and your family during this time of loss. You have helped us so much during Tanya's fight with cancer you have no idea how much that meant to us. You are an awesome lady and I know that light inside of you is dim but will shine again. Chris is a good man....

I first met Dr. Guiltinan as a terrified dental patient. He immediately made me feel exceptionally comfortable and I knew that I had found the kindest dentist in town. I quickly realized that he was not only just a dentist, he was a caring man and he had the greatest sense of humour. His giggle was infectious, even if you did have your mouth propped open! He would sing songs (he knew the words to EVERY song!) and was so lighthearted each and every time I saw him. Very quickly, I also realized that he was incredibly smart, and I would tell him he was the smartest fella I'd ever met. He would just giggle. Dr. Guiltinan was one of the most remarkable people I have had the honour of meeting in this lifetime. Thank you, Dr. Chris for showing me how much good really is in this world. Thank you for helping me to trust again. Thank you for being You. Your Light will be missed, but the world is a better place to have know it. To the Guiltinan Family: My thoughts and prayers are with you. Blessings.

It has been some time since Chris passed. He was not only a friend but a confidant. I miss him when the times get tough. I miss him even more when the times are good. Chris was an exceptional person and will always be in my thoughts

To the Guiltinan family, I just found out about your loss in the Western Alumni Gazette and am so sorry . I went to school with Chris for many years and we engaged in friendly competition over marks. I am not surprised to see that he was both a dentist and a poet. He always had a good sense of humour and I remember him fondly from grade 7 and 8 and high school . With sincere sympathy, Jill

Lisa, I just learned about Chris and am sooooooooooooo sad. Wonderful memories with all of you - too many to name. (Making apple pies is definitely a great one. ) My thoughts are with you. Patti

I learned today that Dr. Guiltinan, Chris, passed away. I am shocked and saddened. My heart felt condolences go to Chris's family, friends and collegues. The first thoughts that came to me were of how funny he was and of how Lisa and the boys were coping. Lisa, Eric and Kevin; as I read through the condolences I quickly saw that others saw Chris as I did. Chris was caring but a caring nature such as his is rare. He made people feel special and took a sincere interest in others lives and wellbeing. No wonder I drove all the way to London from Guelph after I moved to continue being a patient of his. I am greatful for having met him and I will always hold the utmost respect and admiration for the man he was. Liz

So very sorry about Chris. We really enjoyed our conversations at the arena. He always had a great story to share. His great smile and sense of humour will be missed. Our hearts are with you.

i was very sorry to hear of chris's passing...we had many great conversations about music...i know he loved the blues and it was my pleasure to share cd's and conversation with this great man

lisa i am so sorry i just found out and still cannot get my mind to accept it reading the things on the computer tell me you and chris have had a good life you are frequently in my thoughts having given me such great memorys of helping with your wedding i'm an old lady now so these memories are wonderful to have again i'm so very sorry for your loss maybe we can make contact someday i'll be thinking of you often all my love gael

Condolences to Chris's family - I recently saw Chris @ a study club (ITI) - liked his laughter - always sensed that he was a poet - he was very well spoken - it was good just to be around him. Kind Regards - Ted

All my family and me are missing Chris, he was the most gentle and profesional dentist we ever met. Our condolences for his family, friends and the staff.

We express our profound sorrow but alsoour deep ditress at being unable to be with you at this time because of Fran's illness. We welcomed Chris as a valued family member 24 years ago. We admired his talent and loved his personality. Chris nurtured and planted in our backyard a cutting from Lori's Easten Redbud tree. This was a treasured gift of love. Chris introduced Fran to the poet Rilke. Chris was a family man devoted to Lisa, Eric and Kevin. His loss is a devastating tragedy We grieve with you all.

To Dr. Chris’s family & the Guiltinan Family Dentistry “family,” our sincere sympathy at his sudden loss. We will always remember his smile, sense of humor, snappy wit & most of all his caring nature. When we moved to London 7 years ago we quickly became loyal patients. He was so proud of his family & dedicated to his profession. The community has lost a true treasure. May fond memories comfort you at this time.

Chris was truly a wonderful person, his energetic personality, his professionalism but not least, his genuine caring nature made him special in the eyes of so many. At his office, or seeing him around town, it was always an enjoyable experience to speak with Chris, learn of his sincere love of dentistry and his sincere appreciation for his patients. Chris will be truly missed by all that had the opportunity to to know him. I consider it a privilege to have known Chris during his time with us. May his family find comfort in this most difficult time. With Deepest Sympathy, Frank

I will always remember Chris as such a warm soul. He was always a beacon of light during my studies. He truly had an understanding of life's spirit...sometimes rare amongst students of science. May his candle continue to burn!!

Lisa: I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I will pray that God will be close to you and your boys at this difficult time and that He will help you in the time to come. Love Linda

In 1997, 2 little boys and their mother and father moved next door. Life became so many moments for the Guiltinans and the Finlans over the next 9 years. I use to tease Chris that he reminded me of Bruce Willis (from his Moonlighting days) and he would just chuckle with that "Chris" kind of laugh. We use to argue over when the best time to plant annuals was - before or after May 24th or whether Benjamin Moore really was the best paint. A string of memories follows - Caesars on the front porch on Easter Sunday, porch musings on passing people delivered with wit and compassion, countless road hockey games, ice rinks on the front lawn, golf balls through the kitchen windows, fires in the dryer, cleaning up Bailey after the skunk, mini golf, trout fishing, bike races and of course, muffin eatings by Jake. Our first encounter with Chris was him apologetically following Jake to our front porch as he ate Ed's muffin. Both of them had infectious personalities, so all you could say was "it's okay." Chris, you were a bright light taken too soon. A husband and father who has left behind such a legacy. We will miss you. We will catch up some day,you just went ahead of the rest of us, so keep all those dogs ready and waiting. Lisa, Eric and Kevin..... always know we are here. Our prayers ...Cindy, Ed, Patrick , Ben and Claire

I am so sorry and sad to hear this. My condolences to the family. He was the best dentist and so kind and caring to our family. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his wife and sons, and family.

I have worked both for and with Chris for about eight years now. I am a dental technican. I keep all the equipment in the office running and maintained. In doing that job i have a kind of "fly on the wall" view of an office. As I work I can sit there and listen to all the goings on in a practice. I can say with all certainty that chris was loved by all his patients and staff. He had a way of making them feel so welcomed when they walked in the door. Going to his office didnt feel like going to the dentist. It was like coming home from school and your family is there to greet you. I go to many different offices and that does not happen everywhere. Chris would know such details of his patients lives. He loved to talk. He would talk my ears off on the mornings where he would come in early to do some work and it was just him and I there. We would talk politics, life, the cost of living and of course sports. He was soo proud of his boys and their accomplishments. Chris and I would worry that we would get in trouble , he from janet and me from my boss because we were gabbing so much and not really getting any work done. He was such a good man. I never ever saw him mad or upset. I will always remember his laugh. It had a way of infecting you. His sense of humor was something else. You had to know him to experience it. I will miss seeing that smile . When my mom died a few years ago he was the first to tell me that all will be ok. I can still remember talking to him about it. Going to his office was always the highlight of my week. I will miss that so very much. My deepest sympathys for his wife and boys. You have lost a great husband and father. The same for his staff. He was so much more than a boss and employer. You guys had a very special bond that i saw when i was there. Truly a family that i had a chance to be part of. To Chris i will say this... Aloha Nui Loa bro... someday somewhere you and I will have a beer and discuss the meaning of life and try to figure out how this universe and heaven works. I look forward to seeing your smiling face on that day. Until then this world will not be the same without you.

Dear Lisa, Eric and Kevin, Chris was a warm, funny and happy man. I know that Dave and Mike enjoyed all the fun times playing lacrosse together over the years. Chris could always make Dave laugh! Losing such a wonderful husband and father is such a huge loss for you and the boys and we grieve with you. I'm so sorry Lisa. I hope that Chris and Dave are together having a beer and sharing stories and waiting for us to join them someday. Glenda, Laura and Mike Whaley

Dear family and friends. I cannot imagine the depths of your loss. I have known Chris for more than 7 years through his relationship with the implant company I was employed by. Through these years our interactions have always been filled with joy, laughter and an immense respect for his professionalism, his skills and his overwhelming pursuit of excellence in order to help his beloved patience. Chris always talked with pride about his family and his love. Chris you are one of those people you meet in our journey that instills a joy of life that is infectious. Your kind words at the passing if a dear friend a few months ago reflected your genuine beauty. Thank you for letting me know you. My thoughts and prayers go to your wife and your boys. You have a legacy of humanity and love to sustain you. I will miss you Dr GUILTINAN. Michael Flower.

We are deeply sorry for your loss. We so enjoyed our years spent with Chris and Lisa before hockey games and at Tournaments. He was always a positive and friendly person. He will be missed.

I am so saddened by Dr. Guiltinan's passing. I still can't believe he is not here anymore. I was just in for a visit last week and chatted with him. He was always a very caring and concerned person over the years I've known him, a very real person. Going to the dentist for me was like a social visit. I felt at home and loved his staff. Everyone was wonderful. He was a very special person. This is a tragic loss for everyone and my heart goes out to his family at this time. Catherine Gunness

Everyone could tell Dr Chris loved his job. His smile and laughter was infectious and he made you feel comfortable no matter why you were in his office. He will be missed.

The loss of Dr. Guilitinan comes as such a shock to my family and I who absolutely loved him. He made my disabled brother feel welcome and actually made me feel comfortable with a dentist which I have never felt before. Our hearts go out to the staff who always made us feel comfortable and treated us just as well as Dr. Chris did and of course to his family.

It is with great sadness and heavy hearts that we send our sincerest sympathies and condolonces to you Lisa, and Eric and Kevin. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

We are shocked and saddened by your loss of such a wonderful man. Lisa: Richard and I enjoyed spending so many great times with you and Chris during the early years of both our marriages and the early years of all of us being new parents. We've missed seeing you, as much, since you've moved to London. Chris was one of the most charming, witty and extremely talented men we've ever known. I know he was a magnificent husband and father and our hearts go out to your whole family. My parents loved him so much and they are devastated by your loss. There really are no words - your whole family is in our thoughts and prayers....

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time. Chris always had a smile on his face, which was contagious for anyone who was around him. He will be missed.

I am so so saddened by this loss. Chris very quickly became more than a dentist to me, he became my friend. He will be missed and my heart truly hurts. Never could a dentist make me laugh like he could. Lisa, Chris loved you very much and was very proud to be your husband and Eric and Kevin your father was also very proud of you. God be with you all during this very difficult time.

We are deeply saddened and shocked about losing Chris. His laughter and sense of humor will be remembered and missed. Our entire family has been thinking of your family all day.

To everyone in his office and to his family - I know that there are absolutely no words that can possible console you at a devastating time like this. But I hope that all of the happy memories will make this bearable in the days to come. He was a terrific man that left far too soon... Sue Petersson-Bieman & Rob Bieman
