How sad
I have had a lot of help from Christopher
I am sure he will be a big loss to the likes of myself and anyone else
who really didn't know were to start with Irish research
wear your wings with Pride Christopher
you have earned them
RIP

Very sad news,  Like many here, I read Christopher's posts with interest over the years and he also provided me with many links to useful information.

RIP Christopher.

Sad indeed he died alone.  Hoping he did not suffer.

I did not interact with him but always saw his photo as i trawled the site so know he contributed a lot!  I'm sure he will be sorely missed.
