I was born in Gaffney, SC. Sept. 17th 1954 as the second son among four boys.
After a few years, we began to move to several other places in Georgia and North
Carolina and finally settled down on a farm located near Westminster, S.C. in
the mid 1960s. After several years of "sowing my wild oats" (and some of y'all
know what I mean) I accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Lord and Savior on
January 2nd 1972.
Then upon graduating from Oakway High School in 1972 I attended North Greenville
College and after one year, on May 27th 1973, married my longtime (since the 6th
grade) high school sweetheart, Janice! I went on to finish 2 years at North
Greenville and transferred to Clemson University where I graduated in 1975. That
is when my singing career began.
Janice and I were married 10 years before our first "miracle baby girl"
Kristen Michelle was born. Then in seven years our baby boy, Jay Isaac was born.
The long story made short is that Janice was not supposed to be able to have any
children (according to the doctor) but Praise and Glory be to God, we now have
two beautiful children. We have now celebrated 37 years (May 27th, 2010) of
happy, and I do mean HAPPY marriage! God has been so good to us as a family!
Kristen and Chad have two wonderful boys and Janice and I are thoroughly
enjoying the Pop and Noonoo stage of life as grandparents.
God has used so many people over the years to be instrumental and influential
in my life to help me become who I am today and I am forever thankful! I love
you and thank you always for your prayers.
- Chris & Janice Rochester
