Christopher Glen Britt
PUTNAM --- Christopher Glen Britt, 49, formerly of Wilkinson St., died unexpectedly. July 27, 2022. He was the husband of Allison (Durst) Britt. Born in 1973 in Putnam, he was the son of Deborah (Pizzetti) Giovanni and the late Adrian Glen Britt.
Mr. Britt worked as a carpenter and handyman across much of New England.
