Sorry to hear of Richard's passing. I remember doing the "Tai Chi" with him many years ago and I hope it added to the health and happiness of his long life.

I want to express my deepest sympathies to all of you on your loss. I work at St Mary and had the pleasure of taking care of Richard in the ARU. I have also had the pleasure of meeting some of you. God Bless you and support you during this most difficult time. I, too, lost my father not so long ago at the age of 81. You will be in my prayers. He was a fine man.
