He was born in Carlisle on September 13th, the son of Cleason H. and Margaret Cromer, both of whom have now died. Christian was raised in Carlisle, where he was born and raised. He was an Eagle Scout before graduating from Carlisle High School in 1945. After four years of duty in the United States Army, he went to school and graduated from Gettysburg College with a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration. During this time, he also became a member of the fraternity Phi Gamma Delta.

After a long and successful career as an area manager for Masland Carpets in Carlisle, he planned to retire. He belonged to the Carlisle St. John’s Lodge #260 F&AM and the American Legion Post 101, as well as the Harrisburg Consistory, the Zembo and Cumberland County Shrine Organizations, the VFW Post 9639 in Shellsville, and the Sojourner’s Chapter 76 – Harrisburg, where he was past president and chaplain.

He and his late wife were longtime members of the Grace Evangelical Lutheran Church in Camp Hill, Pennsylvania, where Christian served on the church council and as an usher. He had a terrific sense of humor and loved going fishing and hunting whenever he could. He was humorous, and he had a knack of putting everyone at ease while still keeping the tone light. For several decades, Christian’s family has spent their yearly vacation in Stone Harbor. Throughout those years, Christian’s love for his wife, daughters, and Lord remained steadfast.

His greatest delight in life was being with his family, and those who were fortunate enough to have survived him will appreciate the memories he left behind. Carol A. Gordon of Palmyra and Barbara J. Morrow of New Cumberland survive him, as do their daughters; grandkids Matt Gordon, Jason Morrow, and Jennifer Lengel; twelve great-grandchildren; and a brother, Gene C. Cromer of Shippensburg.
