Dear Chris,
Despite the many transformations that have happened at Sasakawa Africa Association, the focus still remains on improving the quality of life of smallholder farmers, which you strived so much to achieve during your time at SAA. 

Miss you brother and your funny stories that always surfaced during the holidays.

RIP ol friend--turned 80 recently and thinking of old times. Always enjoyed working with you. My son has the Borlaug tie you gave me Don't use ties anymore! Thinking of you and the rest of the wheat team that have gone. Jesse

We miss you so, especially this time of year. Hoping there’s celebration where you are and thanks for watching over us!

Wow...a decade has passed since we lost you, Amigo. Hard to believe. The time has passed quickly in our dimension, and I find myself wondering how it is where you are. Does time even exist there? Guess we all find out eventually, eh? One thing is certain, though...you continue to lift the lives of many people here. Your legacy remains strong and widespread, and the world is a better place for you having been in it. You were, and still are, loved and respected. Abrazos, mi Amigo!!

Still think of you often and how much I miss you. The pictures I have that were yours serve as reminders. I so admired what you did to help people much less fortunate than us. Love you forever.

David

10 years went way to fast ,thinking of you today you are missed.
Love you , brother.

Our most sinceres feels for you my brother Chris happy birthday.

Happy Birthday Brother, miss you!

Dear Chris,
I still have the opportunity to pursue your passion for supporting smallholder farmers' access to food and income in Africa. I still remember those SAA meetings you used to chair with vigour and energy and I say, thanks to the Lord for having brought Doswell to SAA

Time has passed since you left us in deep shock Chris, though many changes have taken place at SAA, they are all focused on what you cherished most, "improving the livelihoods of the smallholder farmer". Dearly missed by your team in Uganda

Nine years, my friend. How I miss having you in my life. I sometimes find myself wondering what it's like where you are. I'm sure it's a good place, and I'm sure I'll be along one of these days to join you. Until then, peace brother, and love.

Miss you brother,RIP

Dear Chris I and our friends in Nigeria had you present in their memories and at the farmer fields. we wish you RIP. July 14 was your birthday and you were with us. 

Happy Birthday Chris! Hope you Richard, Mom and Dad are enjoying visiting with each other. Miss you all so much.

Dear Chris my family and I miss you we are now 73 the time goes very fast and we thanks you the good times you give us in Mexico and Africa.

Dear Chris,
It was around this time when the sudden news of your passing on gripped Ugandans. We cant remember enough the moment you had set in SG2000 to improve the livelihoods of the smallholder farmers. The atmosphere you created through your management style is persisting up to today. I pray that God continues to inspire the management team at SAA to stand by your virtues

How time flies, just like yesterday your thoughts keep flashing in from time to time. You were a lover of children. I remembered vividly you paid for Lisa's nanny fee in Addis Ababa when I travelled with her in 2010 working with SG2000
Nigeria . You were a lovable person. l personally miss your person. Continue to rest in peace Christopher Doswell!

Been thinking about you, Chris, remembering all the good times and 'learning experiences' we shared. You are missed, right around the world. Much love from Nairobi, y un abrazo!!

Happy B-day old friend...still think of you often, and how your friendship made my life better. You are and will always be missed. Un Abrazo!

Happy 72nd brother, miss you !

Visiting mom. We talked about your birthday today while I was looking at old photos of you and Richard. We both miss you so. Happy Birthday!

Thought of you today, how hard it is to believe you are gone.

Es difícil saber que ya no estás, te recuerdo y me gustaría escuchar tus consejos, Montse creciendo, es una pena ya no tenerte cerca, vives en nuestros corazones y siempre te agradezco todo lo que hiciste por mí, descansa en paz

Keeko, You left us too early old friend. Cannot believe Richard left us and now you are gone. Our 4 years together in Spain, the closeness of the Dowswells and the Taylor families, the memories of our shenanigans in Madrid come flooding back. I wished we could have got together in our old age to share those memories. I will never forget you and I on the bridge of the SS Independence arriving in New York harbor and through the mist seeing the Statue of Liberty come into view, first time seeing our country in 4 years. David and Steven, you have lost two wonderful brothers and my heart breaks for you.

Hard to accept it's been 7 years, amigo ... I will always be thankful that you were in my life for so long ... you are greatly missed. Abrazos, Bro.

Thinking about you today and often brother.....

Thinking about you today - and will not be forgotten.

Chris was someone who always wanted to help those less fortunate. Losing him was a loss for us all. Miss you.

Happy Birthday once again old friend. I think of you often and how you changed my life in such positive ways. Miss you, pal. Rest in peace.

Miss you, Happy Birthday brother...

Chris, remembering you and missing you. So proud of the legacy you left us!

Dear Chris, You're candle is still burning, with the new strategic plan in place, SAA will strive to achieve what you cherished, ''developing the smallholder farmer of Africa''

Thinking of you during this time of year for family.
Doing good things in Africa in your name, brother.

Miss you everyday Uncle Chris. Always wishing I can talk to you and get your advice. Love you very much.

Hey Buddy...I've been traveling and am just back on line...I think of you often Chris...your's was a singular friendship for me and nothing like it has come along since. Which is my way, I guess, of saying I miss you Pal. God Bless you and keep you. 
Love,
Mr. T.

Chris! your memories still linger in our minds. You made an indelible mark of human development in your time. We are grateful for the life you shared with us in Africa. Rest well, knowing that you did your best for humanity.

Sometimes it's hard to believe your are gone. Every time someone mentions Mexico I think of you. I miss hearing from you.

Happy 70th Christopher!

Dear Dowswell,
Your leadership contribution to SAA, more so to SG2000-Uganda which opened a new chapter in SAA working style will always be cherished.
You will always be remembered by SG2000-Uganda family.

Happy Birthday brother !

Hard to believe it has been 5 years since you left so suddenly. I think of you often and miss you daily. Love you brother....

It's the five year marker since Chris left this realm. It is the same marker as his father in September and my mother in October as they preceded him so closely. I was raw with grief in 2011 as was Chris' mother who lost a husband, best friend, and a son. Chris wanted to be recognized as my grandson's grandfather although it was his late brother, Richard, who was Gabriel's grandfather. This is only one example of Chris' generous spirit and caring for others. He also had the astute ability to use his words to help change the hardships in this world. I miss them all.

Your light still shines brightly my brother. Rarely a day passes without you in my thoughts and prayers. Rest well, knowing the world is a better place for you having passed through it. Mr. T.

Dear Chris,
I was among the youngest team of recruits into SAA family in Uganda, Chris loved evidence based reporting and cherished hard work, I will forever miss you for that.

Happy Birthday Brother ! Miss You

I met Chris once, prior to joining SAA in Nigeria. But he left an indelible impression in my mind because of his total empathy & commitment to the upliftment of rural women in Nigeria. I met him together with Mr Masaaki Miyamoto (then ED SAA/SAFE) & Late Prof A.M. Falaki (then Nigeria's SAA Coordinator). They wanted to meet, discuss & find out the best way SAA could offer support for the microenterprises of these women located in Jogana Village, Kano State. The women were producing local food seasoning. I saw the passion with which Chris loved those women & wanted to help them. Unfortunately, things changed before he could actualized his intentions. Till this day, the women always discuss & become animated about Chris whenever I visit them. Adieu.

Hard to believe it's been four years already, my brother. I pray you are at peace. You are surely missed, and remain my inspiration.

Happy Birthday, old friend...God Bless.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Chris!
