That's terrible. I only met Chris once, very briefly, but that still makes this news seem quite close to home.

Condolences to you and everyone.

Sorry to hear this very sad news about Chris, Jonathon. I met Chris a few times and found him to be a really nice bloke and damn good at his job too. I've lost a few friends this way too and I know how you must be feeling right now mate.

This is indeed very sad news.

You have my deepest sympathies, Jonathan.

I'm really sorry to hear this Jon. I lost a colleague earlier this year and it is hard when you are used to seeing someone every day. My sympathy goes out to you and all at Feline.

So very sorry to hear of your loss
He must have been very talented to work at feline guitars

That's terrible, so sorry to hear it. In my two times at your workshop I found Chris to be the antithesis of so many in the guitar world: helpful, positive, no sarcastic ego - the sought of person you would entrust with anything - in a word irreplaceable.

Chris, that posted the nailbomb clips here?

So sorry to hear about your loss, our sincere condolences to you and his family.

Wow.... I'm really sorry to hear that... My deepest sympathies to you and his family and friends...

Thankyou for all your kind words guys.

It is a difficult time for me - sometimes you dont realise how much or how strongly you feel about something till it's gone.

Chris was a really good mate and a joy to work with
He was punctual and reliable and always in a good mood, which just made things so easy at work.
He was like a brother to me and helped me through a few ups and downs in my own life ( I can be a little hot-headed at times when under pressure)

Workwise he was methodical and steady rather than speedy but I could rely upon him and over the years i honed how he did things to match my own personal approach, which was really great as I found faith that his workmanship would be the same as mine.

We had recently taken on a new trainee (Ben) as well to help with the growing workload and the three of us all got along great and we were both able to contribute to helping Ben (who is also studying Guitar Making at Merton College) to find his feet.
Looks like I will have to focus on helping Ben try to fill those big shoes that Chris has left

Chris will be missed greatly and will be fondly remembered by us both.
I hope those of you who had met him will also remember him fondly.

I'm deeply sorry to hear about your loss. He sounded like a fine man, an asset to the world that will be missed.

I don't know what else to say... shocking news...

Kilby · « **Reply #26 on:** August 13, 2007, 08:47:55 AM »

I'm also sorry to hear this even though I have never met him

I hope he is somewhere happier now.

It's awful when this kind of thing happens, but as hunter said, try to keep his life in mind rather than his death.
My condolences.

Twinfan · « **Reply #28 on:** August 13, 2007, 09:35:46 AM »

I can only echo what everyone else has said. My deepest sympathies to you and Chris' family.

Deepest Sympathies.

Andy
