I am sorry for your loss. Although I did not work close to Richard he was a great team-mate and mentor. Many times he went out of his way, and took the time to help me. I will always remember him for his great sense of humor. He always kept us all laughing during meetings. Richard will certainly be missed at Pureforce. The family and friends are in my prayers. God bless you in this time of need.

Richard was a great guy, from a great family. He was a kind and considerate person. I worked with him for almost two years... And we always used to laugh and cut-up. Now he is with his Creator! This is not a time for sadness, but a celebration for the fact that God has summoned one more of his angels to come home!!! Godspeed and God bless
