In memory and honour of a true gentleman who loved his family so dearly and was taken from this world way too young. His presence, inspiration, his love for being the perfect host with his Gwendoline, and his love for everyone were his great attributes. Sadly future BishBash's will never ever be the same without the "Silver Fox". Love you Chris xox
