Chris, I remember when you first became a doctor and worked at the Ultimate Sporting Club in South Yarra as the club physician. You were obsessed with fitness and carrot juice. You would drink many glasses of carrot juice every day and all that Carotene gave a golden glow to your skin and sometimes even the whites of your eyes! What amazing eyes you had. A few years later I found you practicing at the Superclinic in Ringwood (owned by Jeffrey Eddelston) and you operated on the ganglion on my wrist right there and then. You were so excited to be cutting and stitching. You did a better job than the two surgeons who had removed it in hospital previously, because after you attended to it, it never came back! What a shock it was to learn today what happened. RIP. Marion.
Your light shown for all the world to see. You are a brilliant addition to the night sky now. Your eyes will watch over us all just as you did here on earth. You have earned your place in Heaven my dear friend. I would not be where I am today had you not given of yourself the 100 percent that you always gave. Thank you Dr. Towie you will not be forgotten.
Dr Roderick Towie is my father. I take shame in the fact that I never met my unkle Chris Towie. I have heard SO many stories about him (mainly @ his memorial). I wish and hope for him the best new life and along with a BIG kiss!!!!!! I wish I met you mia
I really want to thank you for our long conversations, your friendship and your immense generosity. Talking to you was a gift and a great privilege for me. Your friendship was and always will be very valuable to me. Rest in peace my dear friend...
I just recently learnt that you just changed your living address permanently and we can only write something here and pray for you .I am sure you are now reading these notes . I can not find any word to explain my feeling now but I can say that Thanks for helping me and giving me my first job in Victoria in your clinic.God bless you.

... Will Happen Today. I ride on a perfect freeway Many people on that road I heard the sound of someone laughing I saw my neighbors car explode Just up ahead Against the sky Quicker than you blink your eye Chorus: Oh my brother, I still wonder, are you alright? And among the living, we are giving, all through the night From the milk of human kindness From the breast we all partake Hungry for a social contract She welcomes you with dark embrace (puts) socks and shoes Upon our feet Little ...
