The End of the Tailend

By Waldo Scribante

We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Chris Carlisle-Kitz, a man who inspired all of us.

It was a great honour to have Chris serving as my Vice President. But we all know he was really so much more than that. He was one of my best friends and my confidant. I am going to miss our phone calls… I am going to miss him dearly.

Chris was a true gentleman, a friend to many, a pioneer, a legend and a hero of the Club. A one-of-a-kind person with incredible knowledge, which he was so eager and happy to share.

Even though Chris may be gone, his memory will live on in all of us forever. We will all miss his advice, support and encouragement.

Jason, Annemarie, Francis, Nina… our sincere condolences. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Anna-Lee, may you always find peace and love in your Merc family.

Chris, we appreciated your true friendship, kindness and gentle ways, always smiling and happy. Always going out of your way.

You will be forever in our hearts….

Ladies and Gentlemen, it is time for me to bid farewell to our beloved friend, and so I leave you with a message from our Vice President, Chris CarlisleKitz: “Life is a daring adventure, or it is nothing”.

You have lived your life to the full, my friend. May you now rest in peace.
