To Chris & Val´s girls, I´ve already sent a message, but this is more about memories: Chris had a couple three names, but he was allways , "Chris" for me. Known Chris & Val since the late 70´s, doing work for them mowing / raking there hay or someone else´s in the district. He´d let me build things in his O´l workshop, or tinker around at something, even spraying that damn Ragwort, all on a casual basis, if I did not have other outside work.
He´d come out with a laugh or two & joke, nothing was too much of a problem.
Then when I left the area, and I´d come back to Taranaki, on one of my trips, it was always, I mean always, it was on my list to drop in without warning expecting a cup of tea & biscuits or some of Val´s cooking, and we´d have a good O´l natter about everyday stuff, life & families. These times were precious to me because we built up such a close friendship & even with the family. Chris would have a laugh and joke, have a 2nd cuppa , then on my way until the next time in Taranaki.
I was only thinking about you the other day, before you decided to fall off the perch, and on my trip,dropping in and seeing you, even though Val would not be present.
Going to miss our catch up´s, Willie Herivel

My condolences and best wishes to you all. It feels like the passing of an era. I will always be grateful for being able to work with Chris as his Accountant until it was time to hand the role on breaking a link that went back to Roy Lithgows time. Unfortunately I can't attend the celebration of his life, but will be there in spirit.
