Dear Helena , Simon, Jacob and Hanna,

My deepest condolences for the loss of Richard. He was one of the most incredible human beings I had the privilege of knowing for the last 20 years. He was special in ways that is hard to explain, his presence was always uplifting, his coaching and wisdom were inspiring, his wit always brought so many laughs and above all his care was true and touching. I was so lucky to exchange many messages with Richard over the last few months, he always asked about my family and ended with sending love and hugs. In one of the last messages sent he said to me that for him ‘it was only ever about the people, it really was the most important (the ONLY important) part’. These words will stay for me forever just like Richard’s memory…. You are so missed but will never be forgotten 

I am so sorry for your loss
