Chris Roberts
Wim Nusselder
Dear f&Friends,
Last December I received this message:
I am Chris Roberts' wife, Deedy. Chris died on December 10th of this year. He so enjoyed his correspondence with all of you. It was one of his windows to the world. He had long suffered from respiratory problems and his going was peaceful. I sign off from this with a wish for peace to all of you.
She left it to me to pass her message on to you.
I received the message because Chris had become a member of the Quaker Faith and Fellowship forum (www.quakerfaithandfellowship.org) in April 2012 after I had met him in Philadelphia in July 2010.
His profile introduction there was:
Hello Friends. Wim Nusselder has invited me to join. I'm a member of Newton Meeting in Camden, NJ and a participant on Quaker-b
He had been an active participant in Quaker-B (Chris originated from Britain).
It is that active participation on Quaker-B (and maybe e-correspondence with me) that Deedy probably refers to as "one of his windows to the world".
His becoming a member of QF&F related to the steady decrease in activity on Quaker-B (and my suggestion that QF&F might serve as an alternative).
Upon my suggestion Deedy asked me to also post a message about his decease here.
I will remember Chris as a kind, humorous and gentle man with a keen interest in everything Quakerly and a weak spot for engineering (his occupation before retirement) and water management (which provided a link with me as Dutchman).
With f&Friendly greetings,
Wim
Mary Munro-Hill
It is very good of you to let us all know of Chris's death.
I shall hold Deedy in the Light.
In Friendship,
Mary.
