The passing of Christopher Winchell

Christopher Winchell expired at his home in Sunset Valley while upgrading a stereo that had recently been installed in his bathroom. He is survived by his wife Delores, his sons Russ and Brandon, and his twin daughters Leanna and Catrina. Many of you readers would know Christopher as the celebrity chef at the Sunset Valley Bistro, or from his riveting blog on the web which chronicled the day to day life of his family.
When asked why he was installing the stereo in the bathroom, his wife Delores just shrugged and shook her head as if she didn't know. Anonymous sources, however, tell us that it was Delores's idea, and that she insisted that he upgrade the new stereo before fixing the shower that was leaking a puddle of water onto the floor around him. The Sunset Valley police offered no comment other than that there were no charges pending against Mrs. Winchell. 
Leanna Winchell and her mother threw a funeral party in honor of Christopher. While the food was not as excellent as what Christopher himself would have prepared, it was well thought out and the center of the party.
Everyone came dressed in their best, with the exception of Katrina Yates, who apparently thought that the party was to be a pool party. While the Winchell's do have a top-notch pool on their estate, it did not seem the appropriate time to go swimming. Leanna Winchell wowed the gathering with a rendition of "A Love Since Forgotten".  Everyone was heard to speak highly of Christopher, except for his wife, who could only complain that the Bistro did not have a spousal pension plan. Catrina Winchell came late to gathering, having participated in a military exercise late into the evening.
After the funeral Leanna Winchell created one of the most moving expressions of mourning the Sunset Valley has ever seen. It is rumored that she worked all night on it, in her formal dress. It seems that when inspiration hits her, she is compelled to express it.
The rest of the Winchell clan dealt with their grief in various ways. Brandon began an illustrated children's book about a child loosing a parent. Delores spent many hours fishing in the family pond. And Russ (not seen here) attacked the garden he and his father shared with a renewed gusto. While loosing a loved one is never easy, it seems this family has found ways to move on that honor their lost member greatly.
