Christopher lived his life to the fullest, embracing each day with intelligence, creativity, and a spirit of innovation that set him apart. A true gentleman in every sense, he was always immersed in a project, driven by curiosity and a passion for building, learning, and creating. His deep love for his family and its history was evident in all he did, and he took immense joy in the life he shared with his beloved wife, Anna, whose company he cherished dearly. Christopher was, without question, a true legend, admired, respected, and loved by all who knew him. His presence will be profoundly missed, but his legacy will live on in the many lives he touched. Possa la sua anima gentile riposare in pace.

Deepest sympathy to Annemarie and family on the passing of Christopher. I had the privilege of working with Christopher on the restoration of Carraigin Castle during the cement strike in 1970. He was a true gentleman to work with, and I will always remember him fondly from that time. May he rest in peace.
