AUBURN — Kris James Talarico, born in Lewiston, Sept. 4, 1956, passed away on Dec. 24, surrounded by his family and friends.

Kris was a loving husband, father, son, brother, papa and friend. The son of Gloria Talarico (deceased), and Nicola Talarico Sr., Kris is survived by his loving wife, Rachel (LeBlond); daughter, Becky; son, Kris Jr. and partner, Timothy Gramstorff, of North Reading, Mass; beloved grandchildren, Alexyia and Khloe; his sister, Debra Dube and husband, Dan; his brothers, Nicola, Thomas and Tim Talarico; as well as numerous nieces and nephews. Calling him home and holding his hand is his mother, Gloria, and brothers Toby and Tony Talarico.

Many of his friends knew him as ‘spy’ and he was loved by anyone who knew him. A graduate of Lewiston High, Class of 1974, Kris had many passions and talents. He worked as a foreman for the town of Greene and a mechanic for Dead River and Lily Truck Leasing.

In his downtime Kris loved to go fishing, hunting, camping, snowmobiling, and of course spending as much time as he could riding his Harley. He and Rachel would often take rides to the beach and mountains. Alexyia and Khloe were a big part of Kris’ life and he took every opportunity he had to spend time with them. He would frequent the Carlton Club where he would have good times with friends playing pool.

We would like to thank the staff at CMMC ICU for exceptional care and service provided to our family and friends. We would also like to thank our friends, family, acquaintances and Affordable Cremation Solution.
