Christopher Lovelock passed away on February 24, 2008. Christopher was a founding father of the services marketing field and he was recognized around the world as a leading authority on service management.

Christopher was very important to many people in our academic community and he will be greatly missed! Tributes are being planned this year at forthcoming services conferences in Christopher’s honor: the AMA SERVSIG Services Research Conference in Liverpool, UK and the AMA Frontiers in Service Conference in Maryland, USA.

For those of you who knew Christopher, please send any photos of Christopher or stories about Christopher to Jochen Wirtz <jochen@NUS.EDU.SG> and Ray Fisk <Ray.Fisk@txstate.edu>. Jochen and Ray will use this material to create fitting tributes to Christopher at the conferences. These materials will be shared with Christopher’s family, too.
