Mike
To my lovely twin brother Richard. Loving dad to Laura & Hannah, and all his grandchildren. We didn't meet that often, but when we did, it was like we had been talking yesterday. I will never forget how he used to embrace Laura and Hannah every time the Bee Gees played, by dragging them on to the dance floor to make a fool of himself dancing.
I love you and will miss you more than you will ever know, Lots of love Mike

We had such a laugh together, growing up and getting together all the time when our kids were young. You were so funny to be around and whenever we got together I knew it would be good times. I am going to miss you and your wicked sense of humour. You were a great brother, the best!!

Dear Rich - I miss you so much. You’ve been the most incredible father-in-law any son could wish for - I will hold onto my memories with you forever. My boys miss you but rest assured I will constantly tell them how special you were. As I promised to you - I will look after your daughter forever. Love you mate xx
Hannah
The biggest hole has been left in my heart dad. I still can’t believe you have gone and I wish I could wake up from this nightmare. Thank you for being the best dad and grandad. We will never forget you. I hope you are making up for lost time with your mum and Alfie. I will love you forever. Sleep tight dad xxxxx

To my dearest brother, taken oh so soon. I will miss your dry sense of humour, and will always remember how protective you were of me when we were younger. You put up one hell of a fight right to the end, and I will miss you more than you will ever know. All my love, Lex

Richard was there for me when I really needed love and support. He gave me all that and more - alongside huge plates of his delicious roast potatoes!
Thank you Richard, I will always remember you with a smile in my heart. Night- night Rich, sleep tight. Love Jen and Paul xx
Lucy Weeks
I was so sorry to hear about the loss of such a brave, humorous, gentle-man. I was lucky enough to be Richard’s Macmillan nurse when he was first diagnosed and to say he took the diagnosis and treatment (with all its ups and downs) like true warrior is an understatement. He had such a positive outlook and always had a me laughing at every appointment (with the most inappropriate timing)! I’ve never quite known anyone with as little luck regarding health as Richard but the support and love I saw from his family by far made up for the luck in his life. Sleep tight Richard, be at rest now bad keep a watch over your loved ones xxx
Mave and Family
I first met you when you started work at The Tavern. We hit it off straight away and didn’t we have some fun😜. We were like peas in a pod and best mates forever. Love you Rich - sleep well my darling. Lots of love Mave “The Rave” Xxx
Jane Harman (Gainsford)
I had the best childhood growing up with you as my friend Richard, we had so many laughs, jumping the neighbours fences, a farmer chasing as with his shotgun because we was in his cornfield, camping in are back gardens, I will always remember you as my friend and the wonderful times we had you will be sorely missed 😥💕
Christine Ewles (nee Goddard)

You were the kindest uncle.

Dick
Not really sure where to start!! You have been the best father in law any man could ask for. To say I’m going to miss you would be the biggest understatement ever!! You have treated my like a son and for that I will be forever grateful!! Not sure how I am going to cope without your witty sense of humour!!
I promise to look after Hannah and the kids. I’ll be raising a few 1664’s for you! All my love Sam xxxxx
