Sending my heartfelt condolences to Chris's family.
I was friends with Chris from his days in Godalming (I lived in the same street) and loved spending time with him. After he left I'd often pop in to see dear Inge and Ben for a cup of tea and to hear all of Chris's news. Love to all x

My condolences to Chris´s family. Such an encouraging man of faith. I first met Chris when he joined the worship team at what is now Windsor Community Church in the mid to late 1990´s. He was unique and always friendly. I moved away from Invercargill many years ago but would see him at church and Men and Mates when visiting town. He will be remembered.
