Heartfelt condolences and loving thoughts to Aunty Shirl, Melissa, Daniel and Brad. My time staying with you and Chris during my teenage years will stay with me forever. You all, and especially Chris, provided comfort, guidance and friendship to me at a time I needed it. Chris taught me to waterski even on singles, once. He let me run free shooting rabbits along the river frontage at Murrabit. Looking back, these experiences with him, and you all, is something I cherish still. Great memories, love Justin, Julianne, Orlagh and Pat
Words cannot describe how we feel on the loss of such a wonderful friend who was such a kind and decent gentleman. Our trips to Cardwell and the Daly River created precious memories that we will hold in our hearts forever. All our love, thoughts and sympathy are with you dear Shirley and your family. May Chris now rest in peace free from pain and spend his days fishing in the big rivers above.
