So sad ... and to die alone.  I do hope he didn't suffer.  He will truly be missed on here, by those he helped and encouraged.

Rest in peace, Christopher ... and may you now have the answers to your brick walls ...

I find this all so tragic. Christopher was such a whole personality on here. He was the only person who found a possible lead on my one Irish line. We had some good discussions about Welsh, Irish and Scottish Gaelic as well.

I would have enjoyed having a pint and a chat with him :)

How very sad.

RIP

I don't mean to poke my nose but I saw this thread... I didn't know Christopher but by all accounts he was a lovely man; well respected and helpful. May he rest in well-deserved peace.

Let's pray that he is at rest.

Matt

What sad news.

His advice and links were an invaluable aid to many Rootschatters.

Who will take his place? The Irish Board is always so difficult as their records, in many cases, no longer exist.

God rest your soul dear Christopher.

What very sad news.

Christopher was the guy who introduced me to Rootschat. He told me about all the wonderful people on here, and how everyone was so nice and helpful.
