“He also volunteered at Roxburghe House in Aberdeen during his spare time, which he thoroughly enjoyed doing.”
Flowers left at Stonehaven Railway Station after the train crash.
Mandy Urquhart, who manages volunteers at Roxburgh House, said: “Chris really was a man much loved by all who knew him.
“He was incredibly caring, fun-loving, genuine and kind.
“His compassion and understanding brought him through the doors of Roxburghe House nine years ago, to help others at their time of need.
“Since then he has become a familiar, and regular, face on the ward with his tea trolley and in our coffee bar.
