Richard COCHRANE Obituary

Two years today since you left us. Hope you are having a Rum or two up there, we will all be having a drink for you tonight. Caitlin has candles lit for you today. We miss you everyday.

Love always Kath & Caitlin xoxoxoxo

Happy 57th Birthday my darling. Hope you are having a Rum or two up there today. We miss you everyday. Love always, Kath & Caitlin xx

I remain so touched by the family messages to Rick
We all miss Rick so much. Rick was such a friend to all,

happy father's day dad. i miss you so much

Richard was a dear friend from primary school days, yes Stilfontein South Africa. He always held onto his Scottish twang, gifted by his parents. Sorely missed. I / we should have made a more concerted effort to remain close, him in Whangaparoa, me in Tasman - both Kiwis to the end.

My dearest Rick, a year ago today, you left us. The past year has been one of the hardest, but we got through it. Caitlin has grown up so much & she knows you watch over her everyday.

Tonight we gathered with family & friends in honor of you.

Miss you everyday my darling & you are always in my mind & thoughts .

Love always
Kath

Love always, Kath & Caitlin xxxx

My dearest Rick...well it's New Years Eve & it's just not the same without you here. You would be prepping the BBQ with a Heineken or a Rum in your hand. We will all raise a glass for you tonight.

Miss you everyday.

Happy New Year my darling xx

Kath & Caitlin xx

Rick I still cannot believe you have left us all. You were a good friend and team mate over the years always doing your share and more.
Kath and family my prayers go out to you all. Thank you for allowing me to share in Rickster's celebration of life.

Rick, I will miss you so much. Well, I already miss you. You have left us far too soon. You taught me much about our game - and even more about cricket.
My deepest sympathy to, and prayers for, your family and friends. And Kath, thank you so much for inviting me (us) to participate in Rick's celebration! Sorry I couldn't make it to Applejack's!

I only know of Rick through an online game that we were both league members in, but wanted to send his family my sincerest condolances and prayers.

Dear Ricky, life was never dull when you were around, there was always a laugh to be had or an inappropriate comment to be made! Rest In Peace my friend and thank you for all your help over the years, it was very much appreciated.
To Kath, Caitlin, Blake, Annette and Wal and Dave, our deepest sympathies to you all. With love from Val, Katie and Hannah xx

My darling Rick, I still cannot believe that you have gone. Every morning I wake up & you're not there. My heart is broken into a million pieces. I miss your arms that hold me tight and your snoring that keeps me awake at night. I miss your voice & your laugh that fills our home with noise. I promise you that I will finish what you weren't able to. Your Lazy Boy chair in the lounge is Reserved for you only. And tonight's 3rd Test between the ABs & Ireland is dedicated to you.

I promise you I will take care of your "Little Monster" Caitlin.

Fly high my darling until we meet again.

Love always, your Kath xx
