Messages of condolence

  1. Uncle Richard, thank you for so many happy memories, especially from my childhood. You were always funny, kind and full of good humour. You were so special and loved your family, your dogs, your football, your wine and your curries. I’ll always remember your awesome Sunday roasts. Miss you so much. Lots of love, Helen

  4. Dear Heather, Verity, Dan and Adam we are very saddened by Richard’s passing, as friends and neighbours over the past 47 years. Richard was always present in our lives, firing up the BBQ or filling the swimming pool for the kids, walking the dogs early in the morning. We will miss all these things so much, especially his distinctive cheerful laugh which alway accompanied him. Love Sandra, Geoff, Anna & Mark x

  6. Uncle Richard and family, I’m absolutely blown away to read all these lovely comments that truly represent the man I know.
    You always shown me compassion and understanding.
    You will be solely missed and your kindness has left a huge mark on all of my families hearts. The resilience you’ve shown in the face of a difficult and tough life has made a mark on us all.
    This greatness shines through in the family you leave behind.
    Good night uncle Richard x

  7. Richard you will be sadly missed in so many ways, whether its the chats we had or the banter over our football teams. The lovely bbqs, lovely roasts and flowing wine and beers, you always made me welcome in your home and you will always have a place in my heart.

  8. In memory of Richard, a dear Brother Inlaw, friend, whom was greatly respected & loved by all. It’s always difficult to lose someone, Richard was such a lively loving chap. To lose someone this special is even harder. But he lived his life to the full, the way I believe he would want to go. Love to you all. Gilly & Mark x
