Christopher Hollyer 1947-2006

Brian Hollyer phoned me to pass on the sad news that his brother Christopher, who worked in films in New Zealand, had died last month. For some time he had suffered from Multiple Myeloma and I note that his support web-site http://web.mmsupport.net/ is now dedicated to his memory. Chris had been in correspondence with me since 2002 and I had helped trace his brother Kenneth (1929-1970) who the family had lost track of when he went to the USA. I also helped him retrieve some of his family's war medals that were being auctioned on eBay.

He never mentioned his health problems and was always one of the most warm-hearted and appreciative of correspondents.
