After hearing the sad news.........I was thinking....when did I first meet Richard? I recall meeting Richard when I first worked in Real Estate in Manly some 18 years ago......before I even met my now husband George (also in air conditioning). I recall seeing Richard at the Church in Manly when we married thinking thats so nice he came. But.....most recently I recall him always walking into our office in Balgowlah over the last 3-4 years (while he was working with George) and every time saying to me "Hello Darling" "how are those beautiful children"......such a delightful gentlemen.....sadly missed and truly respected.
