My sister Kathryn and I remember Chris from our childhood days when our mother Margaret Kelly and Chris were members of the Franciscan Third Order. Remembered fondly. RIP. Lynda Robinson(Kelly)

Some of us recall Chris' gracious leadership of our NZ Anglican Pacifist Society over so many years and give warm thanks. Loving prayers to his whanau. Notably Garth from our Akd Grammar years together. Good to see you still running. I stick to walking these days up north on the Tutukaka Coast Shalom Murray Mills

A lovely man with an unusually generous spirit - he will not be easily forgotten.

Thank you Chris for being an outstanding friend. Through you I travelled with certainty a lifes journey following Christ. I have much to be grateful to you, faithful servant of Christ and loving family man

Remembered by Joyce and myself for his commitment to peace through the Anglican Pacifist Association and as a friend well loved and respected. Our love to Pat and the family
