Chris will always be one of the best and most positive people I have ever known. His sense of humour, quick wit and kindness will carry on and every time I have a piece of Christmas cake or a mince pie, I will think of him. Our thoughts are with you all, and remember that ” in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make. ” Here’s to you, Chris.

There could not have been a better husband for our cousin Jackie, and father to Jennifer and Adam. Lexis is so blessed to have had you as her Grandad.
