One of the most difficult things to write about is the life of a friend to many. Chris lost his life in a senseless criminal robbery. He left all in shock at his passing.
Chris was a larger than life character who has been around the racing world for to many years to recall. A straight forward speaker who sent a many walking to the gate, trying to remove the flea. I have asked around for stories to remember him by only to be unindated with tales and surely some myths.
He will be greatly missed by the racing fraternity as well as friends and family.
To Jane, Charlie and Nic our deepest condolences from the HSSA family.
We know no doubt you will be organizing a race around the clouds.
