I saddened by Chris's loss. We used to talk regularly in the lift when I was a junior staff member . He was always interested what was happening with the staff on the ground. His presence has been missed and will be missed

I worked for Chris when he was CFO & then CEO of AIDC in the mid 90's. He took the time to regularly "walk the floor", talk to his team, listen & get feedback on how things were going. I have great memories of a leader who cared about his people & made everyone feel special & important. Jan & family, this is a devastating loss for you. Please take some comfort in knowing that Chris was an important & positive influence in many lives.

Chris was not only my boss for many years but a true, true friend. I am simply devastated. He taught me so much and was someone I greatly admired. I am so thankful we had caught up more regularly of recent times, although so sad that he was in such a dark place. I remember you always. My thoughts go out to Jan, Alex and Caroline at this very difficult time, love Sarah x

I am truly sorry

I hadn't seen Chris for years and years but I remember the good times with Keith & Debbie Tilson and Jan and Chris and me, the parties, the Oaks, the crazyness of those early days in Australia when all that mattered was getting to the Customs House by 5.00pm for a beer. Jan I don't know what to say other than I'm hoping you are OK.
