Such sadness for Karen, Angela, Katrina, Brendon, the grandchildren, all the immediate family.
Richard was to us a great neighbour, friend for twenty five years. We spent fun times together chatting about anything and everything, righting the world. Lunches out enjoying each other's company. A very valued friend.
Richard just loved Karen , he complimented her regularly, as she loved him, a perfect couple , he often said how lucky he was.
Angela and Katrina were the apple of his eye a the saying goes, the grandchildren were very special to him. His eyes would light up and sparkle with pride when he spoke of anyone of them.
Richard wil be very much missed by all who knew him a hard working man a big gentle giant. Always kind things to say a great human being.
Fly high Richard , we will help look after Karen, she is my dear friend.

Richard will be sadly missed, many good memories of times shared together when we would solve the world's problems after a days work with a Woodstock at the back of our trucks.
