`Bird-Man´, Chris was a very special friend over the last 40 years, the fun trips away with him to Japan, Singapore, and Australia to see the F1 racing and to buy cars. Holidays in Wanaka on the lake, always keen for a night out, and never shy about paying, even when not his turn.
Chris was as good a mate as you could ever wish for, and will be sadly missed but always remembered.
