    Condolences to the Family. I served with Chris over the years in several units. By far the best was when Chris was our POTEL on HMCS Protecteur. He was a true professional, outstanding sailor, and a true mentor to everyone who had the privilege of either working for or with him. Always up for a good practical joke he ensured that there was never a dull moment. A true professional, he will be missed. Rest In Peace. Harry Butler CPO2 (ret'd)
