Dear Judy, Jo, Heidi and Lisa
We were so sorry to hear of the passing of Richard. We know how much he meant to all of you and how much you will miss him. We send you and all his family our heartfelt condolences and wish you strength and support at this very sad time. We have great memories of every time we met: the first time in 1988 when we were all much younger and Judy had the Milk Bar, when we met you all just over 10 years ago and the last time in 2016 when Mary, Judy and Richard came here to Bern and we enjoyed exploring the city and the mountains together.
We are grateful we were able to witness the funeral online. It was a truly beautiful tribute and send off: the personal tributes, the involvement of all the grandchildren, the really beautiful memories in pictures and the wonderful music and singer/musician.
Thinking of you all.
With love from Patricia and Rob

Condolences to Judy and family.
What a great service, well done to all involved.
I only knew Dick for a short time compared to most, but wow what an impact. A truly great man that would do anything for anyone. Always had time for others and a great sense of humor that would always cheer everyone up.
I know I will always remember Dick with fond memories.
Rest in peace Dickie

Our deepest condolences to Judy, Marg and Family on the loss of Dickie.
He was so interested in our New Zealand Rail tour we are still completing and in someway I’d love to think of him sitting next to us through each tunnel we threaded through and each viaduct we crossed.
Now I guess that I will hold the mantle of the worst punter at Emu Plains now that my mate won’t be there.
Goodbye our good friend,
Arohanui,
Dave and Adrienne Prior

Condolences to Judy and family. I will miss Dickie a lot, but I'm so glad I got to meet him and spend time with him. A great family man with a wonderful sense of humour and really bad jokes.
