I had the pleasure of meeting Chris and his lovely wife Jane last summer on their visit to the UK. I initially met Chris through #PRredefined a global network of public relations professionals committed to developing new thinking and doing in PR. Chris submitted a chapter to our #PRredefined ebook on what we called the 'Durban Model'. His ideas and actions were of someone with a deep passion and commitment for creating a better world through better communications and understanding. He was a man of great virtue and principles and served as an exemplar for Public Relations professionals. He worked tirelessly for creating a better future for his beloved Africa. I will miss our Skype conversations and sharing of stories. A great man, taken too soon. My thoughts go out to his lovely family.

Moving from Journalism at the then Natal Technikon to join PR at the PMB Britain campus surely did not prepare me to meet with Mr Skinner as we fondly called him..a year into the class I was brainwashed that Mercedes and BMW are rubbish brands and Toyota is thee only GOOD brand...well the 3 years to follow were to shape me into the man I am today...CS taught us manners, taught us etiquette, taught us the grace of life and most of all prepared us for the real world..I'm greatful I met this humble, bubbly and at times sarcastic gentleman who gave me a chance to learn and go and return his teachings...The PR and Communication fraternity in SA is highly saddened today...one our own has gone on to smile in the great home..Go well, GO shell Mr Skinner

i thought i would just mention this: My name is Shamim, i never knew Mr Skinner but on Wednesday i dropped off some flowers on behalf of my employer, Mr Dass. Upon entering his home, i was greeted by his housekeeper who i had never met before. She had such wonderful things to say about him...it left me with such a warm feeling. Above many complimentary remarks made by her...one stood out to me..." Most people have two sides...not Mr Skinner...he had only one side...a good side...he was good all the time". I thought to myself...Wow! this truly was an amazing human being. So even though i have never met you Mr Skinner...your goodness prevails and is still felt by those that knew you and even by those who didn't.

I first met Chris when one afternoon he walked into my office at the old Daily News building in Field Street to persuade me to collaborate in creating a text book for students of Public Relations. The. Result was one of the easiest projects I ever worked on because it was fun all the way. That we shared mutual interests in Rotary and nature conservation soon ensured the formation of a life-long friendship that flourished when I became President of the Durban Rotary Club and Chris our District Governor. It was a friendship that I greatly valued. The book we collaborated on, "Advertising For Free" proved to be a considerable success, going into several editions and for a period serving as the standard text book for PR students. I will truly miss his unbounding enthusiasm for life and his care for his fellow man. Chris personified the Rotary motto of service above self and the world will be a lesser place for his passing.

A little tribute small and tender, Just to say we still remember. A leader so strong yet gentle too, A dear friend to all he knew. Service above self, his true motto in life, Blessed with 3 beautiful girls and a loving wife. There is a link death cannot sever, Love and remembrance last forever. A garden of beautiful memories Sprayed with a million tears. Tenderly we treasure the past With memories that will last.

DG & ADG's visit to President Jay's home. He had attended our weekly meeting on Wednesday, discussing his induction as our incoming President. His sudden death on Thursday was a real shocker. His commitment to Rotary " Service above Self" was evident in all projects he was involved in. Well, he was involved in every project. Our heartfelt sympathies to his dear Wife Jane, His 3 daughters and 5 grandchildren. We will miss you very much our dear Chris. R.I.P Jay and Priscilla

How saddened Margaret and I were on our return from Rotary D9370 Conference in Potchefstroom to hear the news of PDG Chris. I have known him for many years as an outstanding Rotarian. I have had two main interests in Rotary -Youth Exchange and the Group Study Exchanges where I first met Chris. However, it was during his Governors year that we had most contact. With his great PR interest his experiences of the incredible projects while visiting clubs prompted him to wish to publish a Coffee Table book detailing many of them. I was asked to gather the articles etc. vet them and pass to Rotarian Tony Howard to finally edit as he had a publishing background. Unfortunately the small market and cost of printing the book caused us to drop it in the end. Something that saddened Chris as he did want the world to know how great Rotary was in D9270. We will always remember him and the lovely PDG lunches at home with him and Jane. Our deepest sympathies to Jane and the family. Colin

I am gutted by Chris' passing. For my career, he was my knight in shining armour. Because of his patience and generosity, I was able to contribute to one of his books, an opportunity I will cherish for as long as I live. He is a legend and the father of PR in SA. His soul will rest in peace because his journey was beautiful.

Time spent with Chris at one of his Rotary Club's Projects, with some of the members of The Rotary Club of Amanzimtoti. Chris loved his family, his community and Rotary. A wonderful man and an absolute scholar and a gentleman. Chris, you will be sorely missed. RIP. Gavin Jepson and the Rotary Club of Shelly Beach

Chris, always so willing to share with others, serving others before self with humility, compassion and kindness; the epitome of what we would aspire to be in this life. Not looking a day older than 60, on 14 and 15 May 2016 Chris presented a master class on disaster management to myself and a group of delegates in Walvis Bay, Namibia. It was a privilege and an honor to have known and worked with Chris; a dear friend and mentor. The legacy Chris has left will live on forever in our hearts and minds.

From joint speaking engagements at student conferences, to attending the same PRISA events in Durban, it was always a pleasure to spend time with the gentleman Chris. He was a true Public Relations legend. Condolences to the family from me personally as well as, in my capacity of President of Rotary Club of Durban North, from all our members who knew him. May I also extend condolences sent via London from Simon Dabbs, MD of Newsclip Media Monitoring, from all at Newsclip. Through his books and the many students lectured by him, Chris is someone who will not be forgotten.

I'm very sad to hear of the sudden death of my good friend, collaborator and sometime business partner Chris Skinner. I believe he died on Thursday at home. Chris was Mister Public Relations and his commitment to Rotary was always evident. I know how excited he was about his involvement with PR in Africa, especially Crisis Communication. We worked for a long time on various versions of this "Protocol" book which is used in many government offices countrywide. I will miss Chris and his enthusiasm for new projects and his wise council. He was a true gentleman. Condolences to his family.

What a charming, kind and generous man - and indeed, all the Skinners. A couple of decades ago now - is it really that long?- I came out to South Africa on an aid project, in the dying days of apartheid. Teaching in a Zulu school. It was all rather curious and not a little strange, for a London boy fresh out of University, who knew fresh air about anything. (Still don't). But the Skinners made me welcome - and indeed made all of our little group welcome - with tea, gin-and-tonic, a television, a swimming pool, but most of all kind, interesting, generous chat. I clearly remember talking to Chris about his experiences working in SA in PR. Curiously, those chats have come back to me repeatedly over the years, as I spent about a decade as a journalist at the BBC. I came to see quite how perceptive he had been, and indeed was. A real, genuine, gentleman, and a man of insight. I'm very sad to hear of his death. I send my love to all the Skinners - and it'd be great to hear from you all again. Richard Danbury
