Postscript for Rich's service

Just thought I would let all those know that couldn't make it;

The service for Rich was extremely well attended with standing room only in the church. I know that Helen was very grateful for the messages from all of his ex 'mates' and it was a comfort to all the family to see the huge regard in which Rich was held.

Eulogies from a childhood friend and fellow Nav were extremely well delivered. The timing of the GR4 pair that on topped as the congregation left the church was immaculate. I probably speak for most of the guys when that was my weakest moment.......

For those that couldn't make it - Rich provided a typical moment of levity with the Katrina and the waves, walking on sunshine request to close the service!

Rest assured if you couldn't come along there were plenty of glasses raised throughout the evening on your behalf.

Honoured to know him and will miss him hugely.

GF
