Thinking of you all at this very sad time with the passing of Richard. We have many great memories over the years of the times we saw Richard, most recently at our business when he installed some lights in our factory. We will always remember those times and the times we did catch up - always a lot of laughs. May you be at rest Richard. Will be remembered always. Love the Brown Family x

I have known Richard in a profession capacity for over 15 years and came to considered him both as a reliable collogue and a kindly friend. As a person who shares the same age, his diagnosis was both a shock and and an eye-opening event. I extend my condolences to Karen and family on their loss and wish them well in this difficult time.
