Christopher Cruttwell - 1932-2006
Christopher Cruttwell died on 4th July 2006, aged 74. He was born on 25th July 1932. He was predeceased several years ago by his wife Pat, and is survived by son Stephen and daughter Elizabeth. Christopher joined the Society in 1992, and became a regular attendee at London meetings.
He is best known for his extensive collection of Cyprus, many aspects of which he displayed at meetings. However his interests also included First World War in East Africa and the Chaco War, both of which he displayed. Very recently he had also taken up St Lucia.
He was a Fellow of the Royal Philatelic Society London, as well as a member of local and specialist societies. He was a solicitor, and other interests included hockey (which he still played until the age of 59), the Church, classical music and good food. Christopher was quiet but friendly, and will be missed at meetings.
