He was deeply committed to supporting a diversity of causes within his community and beyond. He was a strong advocate for peace and human kindness. He loved to travel, read, spend quality time with his family and held a strong passion for the French language and culture. He cherished his daily walks through the city and enjoyed his time at the Hamilton Farmer’s Market. Chris was a friend to all.
He was a prominent and active member of many clubs and associations including: the Rotary Club, where he was the President of the Rotary Club of Hamilton in 2013; the Canadian Club of Hamilton where he also served as President; the St. Leonard’s Society of Canada where he was the Chair of the Hamilton branch; the Canadian Peace Initiative where he was a National Co-Chair; as well as the Federation of Canadian Municipalities.
Chris served as City Councillor for the Town of Flamborough, was a Paul Harris Fellow and a recipient of the YMCA Peace Medal. He has no doubt left a lasting impact. Due to COVID restrictions the family will hold a Celebration of Life at a later date.
In his memory, donations to the Rotary Club of Hamilton Forever Fund and YMCA of Hamilton, Burlington, Brantford would be appreciated by the family. https://rotaryclubhamilton.ca/memorial-donations/
