I have such happy memories of Uncle Richard, the silliest man I have ever known but also one of the kindest. Some wonderful times as a child but have also enjoyed watching him entertain my own children more recently when we finally got to see you again. Thinking of you all and sending much love ❤ Amanda, Richard, Alexander, Nathaniel and Olivia xxx
