I came on line to night and seeing there were no new posts since 12 May  from Christopher, who was  extremely prolific in posts. My first thought was something surely has happened to Christopher. It was then with great sadness that I  learned of his passing. I met Christopher when I was at PRONI whilst visiting in Ireland in 2007. Having come over from Australia  for a holiday, it was a treasured experience, to sit down and chat over lunch with such a knowledgeable man. He is surely missed.

I have just read a post and was wondering if it were true about Christopher sadly no longer being with us.  If it is true, I am so sorry as he was such a good and valued helper to this site, who I will sadly miss.  I also send my condolences to his family.

Regards

Thank you for moving my post.

So it is true, R.I.P dear Christopher.  No more searching now eh, as I am sure you have met up with a lot of those you have been researching in your own family tree.

Thank you for your time and and help.

You will be missed.

Christopher seemed to me to be remarkable mix of:
     knowledge
     awareness of how much was yet to learn
     strong opinions
     the ability to listen
     patience with neophytes
     occasional irritation with those he thought should know better

Above all, I will remember his passion, enthusiasm, extensive knowledge, and willigness to give his time and expertise for others.
