Chris was a special school friend in the 1960s at Whitgift School in Croydon, South London. Enjoying fellowship with him and working alongside him in the Christian Union and on the summer camps at Croyde was a privilege. Reading the tributes from his former pupils at West Buckland School is a reminder of the loving and loyal friend that I knew all those years ago.

It was always a joy to meet Chris over the years since leaving WBS, though I'm afraid it was too seldom.
His support during difficult times in the sixth form and his energy leading groups on summer trips to Scotland will always be with me. He really was one of those rare people who have a lasting positive impact on lives - he will be greatly missed by me and I'm sure many others.
It was a privilege Mr P....thank you.
