In loving memory of Christoforos Philippides, a father, son, brother and friend. Who sadly passed away on Saturday 28th July 2018.
All family and friends, or those who knew Chris are welcome to the funeral. Please let us know if you can make it. Instead of flowers, we kindly ask donations to be made. We have yet to choose the charity.
What can we say about Chris....
Having left school with barely any qualifications, Chris worked hard to carve out a fanatastic career in IT, which he was so proud of and dedicated himself to his work. He always showed off how great he was at his job and how he was better than everyone else!
Chris could be quiet and reflective but when in high spirits he was the life and soul of the room making a huge amount of noise and disruption, and was sure to cause chaos!
Even though he lived in Nottingham for many years he was proud of being a Londoner and proud of being a Greek Cypriot. He loved everything Greek and going to Cyprus to see his family and exploring the island. He thought he could speak Greek well, so we all just went along with it!
Chris was a kind soul and loved his kids and family immensely and he leaves a big gap in all our lives.
May he Rest In Peace now and we hope he looks down at us every so often to see how much he will be missed xxx

I am truly saddened that Chris is no longer in our world and am grateful to have had the opportunity to say goodbye to him in hospital.
I trained in martial arts with Chris for many, many years and I can clearly hear his words of encouragement to me and clearly remember him working hard to improve his own skills and also those of us around him.
I remember his smile and his laughter but most of all I remember how easy it was just to spend time with him. Chris always had something to say - he always had a point to make or an opinion to express. Life was never dull with Chris.
Forever in my thoughts - Tracy James

Chris and I worked together for many years at Imtec. I think we we both lived to work and worked to live at that time. I like to think I am competitive but Chris was ultra competitive in everything he did and always wanted to be the best he could be, what a great attitude in life.
As the text above points out sometimes Chris could be quite serious and intense but at other times he was very funny also and I can still remember some of the lines he came out with that still make me chuckle. We also socialised quite a bit too and I have some very funny (some a little scary at the time) memories also.
Gone too soon, too young, Christos the Greek but our memories of the good times together will live on.
RIP my friend

So Sorry to hear the sad news.
I had a client who over many years made it clear that they did business with Océ (Now Canon) purely because of Chris.
Chris was a character indeed, I always found his directness refreshing.
My condolences to his Family and friends. He is missed by those who knew him at Océ/Canon.
Kindest Regards,
Matt Belsten

You were a great and loving uncle, always laughing and always joking around. From memories in Cyprus to memories in Nottingham we definitely aren’t short of them. You were a great help whilst I was at university in Nottingham, picking me up from work, bringing and cooking me food.
You will truly be missed by everyone but now you will rest in peace and be watching us all.
Lots of love
