Richard and Bobby, Benjamin and Miriam arrived at St Luke´s Church, Greytown, Christmas 1980. What a privilege to have known Richard and his family. While in Greytown they became very special friends.
Richard was a gentle, kind, and loving friend.
He will be greatly missed by his family and friends.

Richard was a wonderful Vicar at St Peter's Upper Riccarton. I was a privileged to be one of the Wardens during his time with us. He was caring and a friendly man.
