I first met Richard 12 years ago when I retired and became a volunteer on the West Somerset Railway, working in the kitchen on the Quantock Belle, of which he was Train Manager. We all loved Richard, he was gentle, kind and hard working, and we all had the greatest of respect for him. His world came apart when Betty died, and his beloved cat became his world, and we often sent him home with titbits left over at the end of the day. I always kept in touch with him after I left, and he was always so pleased when I visited and rang. I will miss you Richard but you are with your beloved Betty again, sleep well my friend and thank you for all the fond memories i have working with you xx
