Richard, one of life's really good, very humble, totally honest and likeable guys. We first met as neighbours in Morrow Ave, Bucks. Bch about 45yrs ago and instant friends. We have kept in contact since. Richard was the original of "Tsunami" alloy boats and of course built me my brilliant runabout recently for my "big" boat. I am now with my third Tsunami. Richard I thank you for our friendship. Kindest thoughts always to and of you and your lovely family - Brian (and late Susie) Walker.

HILL, Richard Stanley. Much loved and respected Brother-in-law of Nola, Wally and Dawn. More like a Father than an Uncle to Genna. Amazing Great Uncle of Annabel and Benson. Richard always put family first and held the family together through good and bad times. He could build and fix anything. If he could see it, he could make it. Richard's care of Leone during her battle with cancer was an example to all. We couldn't thank him enough. We have lost a best friend and confidante. He was the best of men and we were privileged to have him in our lives. Rest in peace Richard.
