    Chris, a good friend and hunting companion to many - myself included.

    I had the great pleasure of teaching the Duke of Edinburgh Award at Bisley for a few years with Chris when I first joined the BFTO way back in the early 90's. His teaching notes - passed to me when he had to spend more time on the committee - are a reminder of his humour, I updated them but keep a copy of the originals.

    A worthy and considerate committee member for many years.

    A nicer chap you could not find - generous to a fault.

    A great anecdote teller.

    Never a dull moment with this guy and he is sadly and greatly missed by myself and many, many others.

    His legacy is the countless times his name comes up with stories and tales almost every week at the club he helped build and visited right through to the end.

    Miss you Chris.

    Please, next time a member passes like this, post a link to here on ALL sections. This guy was a cracking bloke and I'm shocked to find this thread by 'chance'.

    RIP Chris.

    I met him - In fact I bought his Air Arms S200 which was a gun I fell in love with and it shot brilliantly.

    He sold it as he was becoming unable to shoot anymore and he wanted it to go to a good home. Hopefully, I fulfilled that wish.

    I only met him the once but I can say that he was very down to earth about they way his path in life had led him. I took an instant liking to him.

    We went outside and did some shooting and talked about this and that until he got a bit tired and called it a day.

    I wish I had known Cyclopse better.

    Struck me a good fella.

    I remember Chris well from the BBS - his posts during his illness were full of courage, it really made you think about what really counts in life. He was a very brave and nice guy.

    Chris a good man with a personality as big as his cats: D (What the heck did he used to feed them must have been steroid based I'm sure) He introduced me to BFTO and took me out on a few of his shoots. As an ex squaddie I enjoyed his company very much.

    God bless you mate
