My condolences go out to Moira and Richard´s family. I worked with Richard as his dental assistant/receptionist and he always kept me entertained with his jokes and stories and he always spoke so fondly of his family
A very kind and loving gentleman
RIP Richard

Sending my sincere condolences on the sudden loss of Richard. He was a gentle, kind, caring and supportive Dad, Grandad and husband. He loved his family unconditionally and was extremely proud of them all. I have some wonderful memories of times spent with him, and the great stories that he used to tell. I want to share a short poem and hope the following words can give you some comfort.

Those we love remain with us
for love itself lives on,
and cherished memories never fade
because a loved one’s gone.

Those we love can never
be more than a thought away,
for as long as we remember them
they will live on in our hearts today.

My thoughts and deepest sympathy are with you all at this sad time, love Donna
