As you may know, Chris died last year and this year his fellow MSc colleagues are organising a memorial lecture for him at the Staffordshire Conference On Biomechanics (April 17th and 18th). If anyone has any old photos of Chris or stories, I’d be grateful if you could pass them on to me.

Thanks in advance

Hi
I have just found out Chris has died, I went to Durham with him. Can anyone tell me when and how he died?

 

I thought he passed away years ago. Nice chap.

 

Chris was a third year when i was in my final year at Durham. He drove this absolutely knackered Golf with about 250K on the clock, and rust holding it together. We swapped football stories/drinking stories/stupid boys stories etc. Met a couple of years later at BSS so I asked him if he was still driving the same battered old car.He informed me he was driving an even older Golf with more miles on the clock!

A great character. One of our old lecturers would recuit students he had helped over the year, to come over to his house in summer and for beers and food, tidy up his garden. Me and Chris went along, and spent all day digging up the lecturers garden but Chris spent most of the day asking for bacon sandwiches (The said lecturer was a strict vegetarain, and we ended up with salad!). When the sandwiches didn't materialise, he threatened to chop down the lecturers favourite laburnum!

 

I too have only recently found out about Chris's death, and am very saddened. I was one of his lecturers at Durham, and remember him with a smile - he always had a good sense of humour, but also cared about his patients.

ps it wasn't my garden, and I'm definitely not a vegetarian!
