Many thanks to his sister Elizabeth Green (née Davies) (S:1965-1972), for sharing this with us.  

Chris sadly passed away on Friday 11th October 2023

During his time at Sidcot he had some excellent achievements. For me, as his sister, it was more than that. He was two years older than me and as I followed in his footsteps, he was always someone that I admired and looked up to. One area where he achieved greatness was in the sporting side; there wasn't a sport that he didn't take part in. To me watching him running the longer distances, where most would be struggling; huffing and puffing, Chris would be sprinting in and often breaking records. But he was also part of teams, and was a key member of the rugby, hockey and cricket teams. Along with that, he was popular amongst his peers and worked hard at his studies.

He spent many years teaching in Wales as well as Africa, and several of his ex-students have told me that they found him inspirational in their studies in Geography but also off site on field trips as well as athletic events he was a valuable and encouraging support.

Chris' last years have been spent in Wales, but unfortunately, he was not aware of his surrounding as he suffered from dementia and during his last few years his memory failed him.

I'm sure that it is for his enthusiasm and his never-ending energy that he will be remembered.
