Members of the society will be sad to learn that Chris died on the morning of 15th October after a long battle with a progressive illness which he initially made light of and which he fought until the end when it could no longer be ignored.

He was an indefatigable, meticulous and long-serving Events Secretary whose devotion to Jersey was reflected in his determination to continue in his role with the help of his family.

We have individually and collectively lost a loyal friend.

A funeral service for Chris will be held at Trinity Parish Church at 12 noon on the 28th October.

Chris’ family welcome friends to join them at the church service, however this will be followed by a private family burial.

In lieu of flowers donations to Parkinson’s UK, c/o Sarah Earles, would be welcomed.
