Christopher Robert Larkin died on Wednesday, November 21, 2007, age 55, of complications arising from pneumonia. Chris was a long-time composer and performer in the Philadelphia music scene, known for his creativity, compassion, and kindness. He was the beloved partner of Betty Jane Lenherr; the devoted son of Betty Larkin (nee McKenna); the loving brother of Bruce Larkin, Scott Larkin, Joyce Larkin, John Larkin, Ruth Larkin and Eric Larkin; and the loving brother-in-law of Joanne Gilmore, David Agnew, Paul Feldan, and Jody Larkin (nee Wozar). He was a beloved uncle to eight nieces and nephews and devoted owner of his dog, Mickey. Friends and relatives are invited to attend a service on Saturday, December 15, 2007, at 6:30 P.M. at Gloria Dei Old Swedes' Church, Columbus Blvd. and Christian St., Philadelphia. A memorial celebration will be held at a future date, to be announced.
