Our sincere condolences go out to Richard's family and friends.
He was undoubtedly the VW mechanic wizard and will be sadly missed in the VW scene.
We first met Richard when our son's were at school together and kept in contact through our VWs. We were looking forward to hosting you Richard for a fishing trip in Tekapo.
RIP Richard
