Dear Carole and family, Please accept our sincerest condolences for the loss of your dear Richard. We know his physical presence will be sadly missed but you will have many fond memories to hold on to. We will always think of Richard as a true gentleman.
I am very sorry to hear this news Sara. Please pass on my condolences to the family
Dear Carole,
Please accept my heartfelt condolences for Dear Dear Richards passing.
I can still hear him asking me if I read up on the particular procedure I was scrubbing for on that day. Richard always made sure he gave me the literature to read.
And always addressing me when he’d arrive for our list as.hello “SUNSHINE ”
And Carol the day his Theatre trousers fell down and he stepped out of them and walked down the hallway in his Red Undies…….what a crack up.
So Carole there are so many lovely memories that will stay with me too.
God Bless you and the family.
Our very very deepest sympathy to you Julie and all your family at the death of your beloved father. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, your mother and siblings and all the family at this sad time for you all. Our love and blessings Colin and Gill and everyone ❤️
