Dr. Christopher C. Widnell

Chris and I were good friends at Cambridge University in 1961&2. We shared digs together at 57 Chesterton Road. Chris had the top flat with a small kitchen, and I shared a large room on the ground floor. I discovered he was an accomplished cook and had an excellent nose for good French wines. From time to time he would cook a wonderful meal for his friends and indulge in educating us about wines. It was a stroke of good luck that he got appointed to be the Food and Wine Editor of ‘Varsity',...

I am so sorry to hear of Christopher's death...Sarah told me. I remember him fondly as he drove me to MacGee Hospital where I delivered my son, Jason, five weeks early. Since Chris was also a preemie, his words and presence reassured me.

I am sure over the years he touched the lives of many people, funny, kind, smart and energetic. He will be missed.

Sincere condolences as Dr. Widnell will be missed. I recall him putting up with our grade school antics with much patience and humor. Great person, great mind, great role model...
