I remember Richard as a welcoming, smiling & chatty friend on the odd occasion we met at family gatherings.
He always had a story or two to tell & a big hug.
Rest in peace my friend.

I met Dickie when I first joined HMS Sussex, RNR. He was my mentor and we sailed together frequently (including exercise “Mapleleaf” which involved sailing 4 x Minesweepers across the Atlantic and getting them to Canada in one piece! Not easy). He was a gentle man and a gentleman and adored his lovely wife Ellen. Wendy and Roger were pretty special too. We lost touch until I moved to Bognor and literally bumped into him. We had several social meetings and will be sadly missed by all who knew him. Roger Blaydo (CPO. RNR)
