Richard was a long serving Economic Service client who gave generously of his time and farming knowledge from around 1970 to 2006 on my watch with beef and lamb NZ. I came to regard him as a friend and looked forward to the times he popped into the office for a cup of tea.
Our sincere condolences to all of the Martin family. Rest in peace Richard. Love from Brent, Nadia and Olive Le Quesne
