I didn't know Chris but it appears he was highly thought of by all. Our lifes problems are insignificant compared to a loss like this. God bless him and his family. Neil

Thanks Kev, Think you've said what I was going to say, only one thing to add, I was with Chris and Carol on the coach to Blackburn last night and can only say what a great time we had. Could not believe when I heard this morning that he had passed away. Chris will always be remembered as a true Soulie! He loved the music and was such a happy and friendly person. He worked so hard to provide for his family and Carol has lost her true soulmate. A wonderful husband, father, grandfather and mate! Our thoughts are with Carol and her family at this sad time. Rod, Sue & Danny Clegg xxx

Keith Fletcher of BBC radio Lancashire was with us last night in Blackburn and will be dedicating a record to Chris Gilboy during his soul show this evening between 10 and midnight on 103.9 fm. Please listen if you can and remember a true friend.

Really sad to hear the devastating news of a true gentleman. I'd only known Chris for the past 6/7 years & can honestly say he was a real friend to everyone who knew him. Never heard him say a bad word about anyone, he was the type of guy who just got on with life laughing & joking. Our thoughts go out to Carol & family. RIP Chris.

Bridgey & Linda.

Well what can I say that's not already been said about this tremendous person,Chris was a loving husband to Carol devoted father to Christopher & Nicky loving grandpa to Nathan Chloe & Oliver,loved by his many friends on & off the soul scene, all who met him never forgot him, loved his boxing in his younger days and hung up his gloves when he met the love of his life Carol(to keep his good looks I believe) and so you did Pal.

Chris played guitar and once played and sang in my life an old Beatles track In his living room and I couldn't believe the talent this guy had and kept it quiet,will always remember that day pal thank you,gladly he passed on his talents to his 2 sons who both play guitar.My heart goes out to Carol Christopher Nicky and all his grandchildren and family,until we meet again my Liverpudlian buddy..missing you loads..Nil Satis Nisi Optimum..Froggy .x
