I can not put into words how sorry I am for Richs family. He was a true diamond.

The time we spent working together was the funniest times. We would play tricks on others and had the best time at Halloween.
Rich you had pure determination to anything you put your mind to. I will miss our random messages back and forth about abandon buildings and Ive promised the kids to visit the one you sent over. Im just gutted I cant let you know what state its in.

Rest easy Rich, until we meet again 🖤

For every moment I look back on what was, friendships made, brothers bonded and loved ones come and gone, Richard it's never hard for me to admit that it comes with deep regret I never got to see or speak to you in the last 20 years.

I heard many a story about your life's adventures, goals and successes from friends of relatives of my own, when I first heard of your uphill battle I became much aware that most nights I'd spend sat thinking about what it is I would say to you the next time we'd finally meet. I don't carry faith my friend but I do like to think somehow in some way you've heard what I've always wanted to tell you.
You'll always be that handsome young lad that I met way back when during our induction at college that I just instantly clicked with, your personality was as infectious as your smile and your continuous drive to learn and explore what wasn't already known to you was truly admirable, at times I found myself in awe of you. Even though our time together was short, I'll always forever consider you a brother in my memories.

Thankyou for giving me your time, your patience, for always lending an ear and speaking of sound mind when it came to advice, but most of all Richard... thankyou for being you.
I like so few in this world am honoured to have met a man as great as yourself.

My condolences to your family and friends of old and of newer.
If I ever get the opportunity to meet your wife and child, I won't hesitate to tell them just how beautiful of a person you were of long forgotten days of the past but I've no single doubt she's already well aware regardless.

Rest well my dearest friend.

This world and those who call it home were blessed from the very first day that you walked upon it, I promise to continue your adventure through many a happy thought and cherished memory.

I used to look forward to our chats, they were never too serious and were full of light hearted laughs.
Putting the world to rights and normally Rich would make me realise most things aren't worth the worry they were causing me.

Rich was such a kind soul. Always up for a laugh and nothing was ever too much trouble.
Everyone needs to take a leaf out of Rich's book in his way of life.

I was fortunate enough to have had Rich not only as my family but also my hairdresser...and what a blooming fantastic hairdresser he was! I'm sure I'm never going to have such a good cut ever.
I was looking forward to being able to bring Mollie along to my next cut to meet you...sadly that day never came.

Rest easy now Rich and make sure you don't get caught on your new adventure!

All our love, Georgia Reece & Mollie xx
