Chris was someone I always looked forward to seeing at conferences — generous with his knowledge and support, quick with humour, and always welcoming with a warm smile. His advice and friendship meant a great deal, and he leaves behind many fond memories. He will be deeply missed. Gemma, Miranda and family may your many wonderful memories wrap around you tight at this time and knowledge that he will be missed by many
