I only knew Chris through the forum

But he will be missed and I send his family my condolences

Regards Paulp

 

[Sweety]

I'm truly shocked by the very sad news RIP Cris :rose

 

[macabethiel]

We all move one place up the queue R.I.P.

I never met him but I had some tips from him in the past he seemed a nice bloke I will miss his inputs.

This has been playing on my mind all night and two things have become apparent to me

1. As a tribute I'm going to purchase his book and have a good read of it, still available on Amazon IIRC

2. When the time is right, and things have settled down at home, should we make contact with the family and make them aware of all the posts he has made on here?

He had nearly 8000 posts, the family may not be aware that he came here so often and it may be comforting for them to come on here and read some of the enjoyment he had with us first hand through the good times and the bad :nenau

Tell me if that's distasteful but that's what I'd like if I ever passed on, touch wood I don't any time soon, I'm still in my 20's

Terrible news

I believe in a while this would be a great idea.

I will be purchasing both books this evening for my kindle :thumbs

Just bought Part 1 & 2.... sadly there will be no more.

Good idea mate not distasteful at all, im sure his family will one day take time to read his posts and it will bring a smile to thier faces, im also buying his books this week.
RIP mate, you will be sadly missed by many

I have been in touch with his wife, and older daughter. They have my offer of support, I know we will all do what we can.

I have asked Katie to let me know of the funeral arrangements, I'll forward this.

Please do have a look at the books, proud to say I helped with the proof reading,
indeed we were about 1/3 way through book 3 I do hope it can be continued at some
point when things are a little calmer for the family it would be a fitting tribute to him.

 

[elty001]

never met him personally but spoke on the forum through the years.
R.I.P plank.

Really good to hear Thomas :thumb2

 

[Fez_uk]

Such a shame, Just shows how easily you can go

 

[larson]

such a shame

only ever had pm's on here with him and the odd very short email but he was a nice likeable chap and im sure will leave a big hole in the lives of many people.

 

[firebobby]

I have just read this and am utterly stunned. I haven't been on for a few days and was just working my way down the posts.

What a total shocker, He always had good advice and would defend the traveler and gypsy way of life when some one dissed or made a wrong comment on here.
I made that mistake once and was swiftly reminded by Chris of my error, but not in an aggressive or nasty way, just a nudge in the right direction.

I think this club has lost a really genuine guy
So sad
:rose

 

[spinna]

:roseTerrible news. Thinking of his family at this sad time.

I was chatting with him on Facebook a few weeks ago when he said someone had told him he wasn't a real gypsy. I said I agreed as in al the years I'd known him he hadn't once offered to tarmac my drive. Made him laugh said he would come trim my conifers :lol funny guy will miss him.

Let's not forget the good memories we all have of him, that was the real Chris.

Very much so.
He was a very calming influence on the place. Never knew him, never chatted apart from on here but I am very saddened by his demise. I will miss him.
