Now, there's one of the last Gentlemen that influenced my draughting career.
Chris always had a way of portraying enough information on his drawings to get it built. His skill and talent with felt-tip pens and pencil were second to none and wonderful. Top man Chris.

To Carole and Andrew, I was so sorry to read about the passing of your dad. I have fond memories of him and my thoughts always came when driving past his beautiful home which I spent a bit of time visiting as a support worker. He was a lovely kind man and I know he will be missed dearly by those who knew him. May he rest in peace. Tracey Healy

Sending our condolences.
As neighbours, we remember Chris casually strolling around the roof of the house in Victoria Rd cleaning out the gutters. Terrifying!!
Then the electric bike experiences!
Always a Gentleman.
