To Toni, Casey Daniel and family my deepest condolences as you grieve your beloved Chris.
RIP Chris,
So saddened to hear this.
An old black overalls colleague from the North Coast.
A beautiful man. He will be missed by so many.
Condolences to his family.
Rest mate.
We have unexpectedly lost the most wonderful husband, father, grand father, athlete, morally unquestionable man.
He lived an amazingly successful life, had great friends, and his achievements were not known to some of his closest friends. He was a listener and always made everyone feel that while he was speaking with them ‘they were the only person in the room’. The sadness will never go away, his wife and children who idolised him will never recover, his grandchildren, who had so much to learn from him will never stop missing him and the world has lost a tough, protective, kind, loyal man. All we can do is learn to live with it. He gave so much love.
