How do we remember Chris? Well Geoff met Chris about 45 years ago at College. They became firm buddies. One of the many memories from those happy days is Chris carrying his bag of buns around all week that his Mum had baked for him. He replenished his stocks on his weekly visits home!
Another memory is regarding the beautiful house Chris built. Geoff visited the house just after it was completed and was in awe of what Chris had achieved.
Geoff remembers him proudly demonstrating his home built electric reclining bed that he made with some Dexion, a windscreen wiper motor and a light switch!
Work came along and paths went slightly different ways until Motorbiking came back into all of our lives. Chris phoned Geoff and off they went for a ride out. That was approx 20 years ago. From then on there have been annual ride outs with me and lovely Janet as well. We have had many happy days out together on our two wheeled machines. We saw some beautiful places together and had some delicious lunches. Chris always ensured we visited a few National Trust properties along the way, a true sign of his affinity with Nature, architecture and wildlife. We will always remember Chris with the map out on the top of his Motorbike seat looking at routes.. Happy times that will be sorely missed but we were very lucky to have them.
