  I am deeply saddened by Christophers " lonely" death.

  He was a most helpful man, and  keenly shared his knowledge with anyone that asked for help..

       Men like Christopher gave so much on this site ,  I salute him for his dedication .
                     
 Farewell pal,  Dolly.

Such dreadfully sad news, such a kind man and always ready to help absolutely everybody.
He will be greatly missed.

Let's hope - as a true RootsChatter - that he's finally broken down those last brick walls and met all the ancestors he's got to know through his research - RIP, Christopher.

Although I never personally came into contact with Christopher, it is clear just from the sheer number of posts made on the news of his death, just how much respect and affection people on Rootschat had for him and what a loss to the site he will be.

Rest in peace Christopher.  I hope that you had some idea of how much you meant to so many people.
