I just couldn't believe it when Ros rang me, but for her to ring with ugly tears I knew it must be true, it was so so long ago when we met, my many visits to your home, party's with your friends, family time and even trying to get me to understand rugby my teens were never the same you even came to my school ball. My thoughts are with all who loved you Richy RIP
