Have  only just read the news on here.
So sad, But how great that he had a world wide network of friends who are  missing him and taking the time to say so.


RIP Christopher

Thank you for the Belfast Forum link.  I couldn't work out what that referred to.

It's good to see how many people's lives were touched by Christopher and how much he was appreciated.

I have been reading all the lovely messages an it really does get to you totally made me well up to realise that he wont be here anymore.  The messages I have read show what a really lovely man he was, so kind and helpful to all.  I almost gave up at one stage from finding my family, he stepped in and took the reins actually intervening for me.  Without Christopher I would not have found family and friends that I now have in County Clare, so for me knowing Christopher, was not just a big help in my research but actually life changing, without him I wouldn't have them.  I always remember when I first joined seeing his messages all over boards helping people out, one person had gained a lot of knowledge from somebody else and had not acknowledged that person, he stepped in to tell them off for not thanking them, I thought at first he was a bit scary  being a newbie.....but always made a point of thanking each and every person on here for any help received.....so with a tear in my eye.. I thank you once again Christoper, you will never be forgotton and will always be missed, so sad we never got to do our Father Ted Tour x

I am so sad to hear of Christophers passing.
He helped me and others so much. I am so grateful for his help as I wouldn't have found my family on my own.

I received a post from Christopher on Tues 2nd June helping me with my Delaney family and I never replied to say thankyou.
Thankyou Christopher.

I hope Christophers Heavenly Keg never runs dry and his company is as he would like.

Solid, sound and very much respected.
