Tributes

We have lived on opposite sides of the world for more than sixty years so my overriding memory of you Richard is that of a small laughing boy with carrot red hair, running around, just having a good time. I am sad for all the people you leave behind who will miss you dearly. With much love from your cousin Evvy, and Dan and Rose
