Chris was also well known in the London Java Community and contributed to multiple events, conferences, bringing his expertise in a thoughtful and kind way to folks who were often 1-2 stacks above the runtimes and compilers space .

My conversations with him about JVM design, GraalVM and Ruby were some of the most memorable and fun times I’ve had running around the conference circuit.

Thank you Chris for unselfishly sharing so much with us and leaving the world a better place, you will be missed.

I’m off to go and hug loved ones now.
