“I knew Chris at school, mainly as a good friend to my sister, Roberta, and because I had a very close relationship with his little sister, Clarissa. It was through Roberta and Chris's friendship that Clarissa and I actually met, and we have been very good friends ever since. 

I will always remember Chris in his teenage years as being extremely charming, eloquent, popular and kind. Not only did he exude confidence, but he always had a smile on his face and it was obvious that he very much cherished his time at school. Chris also loved a school musical and I have some lovely memories of him and his peers, nervously waiting backstage before performing, often wearing some very ridiculous attire. Whether he took part in this for the performance itself or for the infamous 'school musical after-party' in The Meadows, I'm not quite sure! He was clearly loved dearly by his friends, family, teachers and peers.”
