Richard was the very best neighbour anyone could wish for. Cheerful, kind , helpful and with a wonderful sense of humour. We will really miss him, always fondly remembered. Our thoughts are with Stacey and Elliot at this sad time, Howard & Mary Armson

Mr and Mrs Howard Armson

Honest , Trustworthy , Kind ,Caring , Loyal, Compassionate,Forgiving , Loving . Useless at pub quiz questions , Good at Tennis and Skiing. Worked hard in a difficult job. Always gave more than he asked for. I only knew Richard briefly, 1 week a year, skiing throughout Europe . 12 trips simply wasn't enough . His openess and friendly manner meant people warmed to him and his confidence combined with the ability to narrate a story was a helpful ice breaker . A thoroughly decent chap who has been taken away far too soon Skiing simply will never be the same Rob
