It is with great sadness that we advise of the passing of Chris at the age of 79 on Thursday 5th June.
Dearly loved companion of Wendy Lemberg and the late Marie. Much loved father and mate of
James and wife Jemmah Higgs. Respected and loved stepfather of Daryl, Royce and Aude, the late Andrea, Ann and Carey, Fay and Roger, and Charmaine and Geoff.

the late Geoff Higgs, and sister-in-law Margaret Higgs. Loved uncle of Catherine, Tony and Anna.
Chris was a kind and gentle man who was loved by many. He will be dearly missed by his friends and family, near and far. A huge gap is left in all of our hearts and lives. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the

Dear James,
Thoughts are with you and your family today
Sending you strength love and sympathy.
We all shared wonderful times together when you and Kelvin were little. Lots of fun and laughter ..
Chris had the biggest sense of humour. I can still hear his laughter. He was always so proud of you.
I am so glad to have those memories. He was an awesome person.
