Yes, thanks Pentio.

Christopher was a large character and there was a refreshing lack of self-promotion in what he did.  As others have said, always keen to help, whether the topic was genealogy or accommodation for visitors to his beloved Ireland or even the local animal shelter!

We had our run-ins but he was always graceful.

It's a shock and I'm sad to hear of his passing.

Very sad (for us) but I'm hoping where-ever he is now he is having a welcome home party on the other side with his kin-folk!!!

I just saw this and am so saddened by this news.
Christopher was always so interested in people's Irish needs and always had that question about religion to try to determine where to start.
I occasionally posted something of interest which I knew that Christopher would read or comment on if no-one else did  ;)
He will be sadly missed by so many and please God he realised that he had made a difference to people on here.
May he rest in peace

I didnt recognise his name until I saw the green hat!  And then realised I had read and enjoyed a lot of his posts. 

What a shock for everyone on RC his BIG family,

Rest in Peace Christopher - at last you can ask all the questions we all wished we had asked when our families were here.

God Bless.
