Chris Peter Houlihan (SPC 1958)

We have been notified of the passing of Old Collegian Chris Peter Houlihan (SPC 1958) who passed away on 15 May, 2022, aged 80 years. He was remembered as a wonderful man who was dearly loved by many. Beloved husband and companion of Mary (deceased) and Jilian, cherished father to John, Daniel and Michelle, step-father of Kate and Mark, and a grandfather to six.
Chris was a boarder from Warrnambool and a member of the First XVIII Football BPS Co-Premiers team in 1958. He was also a handy runner and a member of the cadets. His wife Jilian said Chris’ “recollections of the years spent at St Patrick’s College brought him great joy, particularly in his later years” and we extend our deepest condolences to Chris’ extended families.
