My favourite memories of Chris always started with "Good Morning Mrs Parry, how are you sweetheart" which automatically made me smile as I knew he genuinely wanted to know how I was... this was always followed by "have you signed me up to deliver anymore of your courses that I know nothing about!" and a huge smile followed. He never let me forget after I had been at EEF 6 months I had told a customer he would deliver a course the following week - he had no knowledge of it, no notes and I pretty much dropped him in it, but like the true superstar he was, he spent all his spare time preparing and did it without complaint, did a pretty amazing job of it too - 6 years later he still reminded me I owed him for that !

Chris was a great staff member, colleague and first-rate tutor who made sure he got the best out of his students. It was so pleasing to read the comments from his former students to see the high esteem in which he was held – the true testament of a good teacher. He always put the wellbeing of others before himself, and I recall the many times I would pass him on the stairs and he would needlessly apologise for holding me up, as he struggled with his own restricted mobility. In the early days his waistcoats brightened our days and I remember well his reluctance when I forced him to comply with the new uniform code – but like the true gentleman he was, he complied without further complaint. He will be missed by many and my deep and sincere condolences go out to Chris’s immediate family. Peter Winebloom

Chris was always a true gent in everything he did and an enthusiastic engineer. He always had time to talk and even with his own problems had time to ask how I was. He will be greatly missed

Chris taught me engineering drawing which is a skill I will use for the rest of my life, he would tell me to take me hat off when I was in college and would steal it from me and we laugh about it. He was so caring and from our first lesson he said “with your skills you will do well in life MrGrainger” from then on he’d shout “Mr Grainger!” He wasn’t a tutor he was a friend to us all.

When I first started at the EEF as it was known in November 2014 my lasting memory of my first day was of Chris. His smile, his words of encouragement, the way he seemed to get away with calling me Mrs P and if course his waistcoats which I saw for the first time a week of so later on children in need. He was incredibly untidy to but always seemed to know where everything was. It was his fool proof system he used to say. Thanks for everything Mr P

Chris was my first ever technical tutor in the engineering world. He was kind, knowledgeable, funny and had the patience of a saint (which you needed to teach us). I remember our first lesson with him where he talked about his life and his reasons for still teaching (after we jokingly asked him why he hadn’t retired yet). He said he was given a second chance at life and decided he would take advantage of every day that he was alive - he encouraged us all to do the same as everyone thinks they have all the time in the world to learn, make amends and love. Today I’ve realised how much of an impact a teacher can make to students life. Grateful to have been taught the basics by a man who dedicated his career to helping students discover their talents. My thoughts and condolences are with his family.
