Yep, mid 90's. He left powerlifting because of injury, but still did a bit of coaching as of a few years ago. Here's how he looked about 10 years back -

Didn't he have a brother called Lee, who documented a comeback from a full pec rupture?

Weird that you guys brought him up so recently. Sorry to inform you, if not read elsewhere, but he passed away recently after suffering injuries in a car accident. Really nice, down to earth guy, will surely be missed.

Knew him personally. This is very sad news. Chris was a decent and friendly man.  :(
