Vale Richard. My thoughts are with Jenny, his family and many friends. Thanks Richard for all of your varied contributions, which endure. Thanks also to the authors of the sympathetic and detailed tribute for the Society for the Study of Labour History. Although we’d long been acquainted, we got to know each other better …

I was very sorry to learn of Richard’s death. He was younger than me, so too young. We were both at Warwick, and members of IS, in the early 1970s, and like most members of the Coventry branch he refused to be dragooned into supporting the lurch to creating the SWP. He was a …

The short time we have known Richard has been enough to have us appreciate what a gentle man he was, with an endless curiosity and great sense of humour. Richard was an intellectual powerhouse who was passionate about people, places and society and always ready for an exciting conversation whenever we met in the …

I had the pleasure of having Richard as my mentor at NHH. He was always interested in me and my work – and we had so much fun together. We talked about research, travel, life, and research. One memory is from this last spring when Richard visited NHH, and we discussed a new project …

I first met you when we worked for the WEA. You brought insight and a fierce intellect to all that you did. Behind the tenacity there was always a smile and a glint in your eyes. We shared an interest in the now defunct discipline of Industrial Relations. When others were quitting the terrain …

Richard was a big part of my childhood. Holiday to France with him and Sarah in 1982, weekends when he would go out for a run, pass our house and stop for a cuppa and a chat that often lasted hours, advice and guidance during my A Level Sociology studies, ramblers event when he …

My history with Richard is very much an academic one. It really began following Richard’s appointment as a professor at Middlesex University. I had of course been aware of, and impressed by, his publications prior to this. Yet, as I was to discover, the breadth and depth of Richard’s learnedness and intellectual powers were …
