For over 20 years you were an amazing uncle to Oscar, Lucas and Ella. Memories are so many- helping to teach them to ride a bike, incredible patience whilst they mastered the techniques of beach rounders and then seemed to forget it all the following year's beach trip! You just started all over again! My biggest thanks are for the way you on more than one occasion ran into big waves to rescue them. So many happy days with you, Jane and Finlay, both day to day and on so many holidays. They were lucky to have you🙌

Chris, You will be fondly remembered by your friends at Kenilworth Wardens, having answered the call for parents to don their whites to ensure the survival of 5th team cricket at the beginning of the 2019 season. Even though you had not played cricket for many years you happily embraced the challenge and rolled back the years suiting up as our keeper for the majority of fixtures that season. This was a role in which you showed great talent, much to our delight, with skills not lost since you were a skilled junior. You went on to take four catches, make three stumpings and have a top score of 35 with the bat. We would have loved you to have played more for us but due to geographical challenges you were only able to make the odd game or two in the past two years. However, your will to help Wardens out when in need was epitomised through completing multiple five hour round trips by car to turn out for us. You were one of us even though not playing as regularly as others may have been. Our 2022 season will be played in memory of you, our "pal". You were also a strong supporter of junior cricket. We know how much it meant to you to play senior cricket with Finlay and support his development in our great game. We will be here to support his development in cricket and beyond, as you would have wished. We'll all miss you being a great character around the clubhouse, having good chats post game and particularly debating whether you were out LBW or not! Rest in peace From everyone here at Kenilworth Wardens Cricket Club

Thank you for setting up this memorial to Chris. We hope that you find it a positive experience developing the site and that it will become a place of comfort and inspiration for you to visit whenever you want or need to
