“I cannot begin to express how deeply sorry I am to hear about Chris. As Ele's brother, he has been around in my life since I was around 14. My impression of Chris over the years was of an intelligent, thoughtful, funny person. He briefly dated my sister when they were both teenagers and I remember Caro's excitement waiting to meet him for a pint at the Canny Man!

I was so impressed by the United Kingdom union work that he did - a matter that I felt strongly about.

I thought I would send through some pictures taken at mine and Ele's joint 30th birthday party. Chris was there, in his kilt, and I remember him having fun and joining in the makeshift reels with enthusiasm. I'm sorry if the images are slightly blurry, but I hope that they convey the fun evening we all had together.”
