Dick

What an honor it was to get to know you, it all started with the duck eggs, the best eggs ever. When you stopped the duck eggs, I managed to get them from elsewhere and deliver them to you every week. A few years down the line, my son Sean started helping you with jobs around your land and even drove your tractor.
I hope that you and Jack are back together watching your koi fish from above and are enjoying your beautiful garden and plants.
I will remember you everyday as I drive past your land to and from work.
Don't forget our Thursday 9 o'clock cheers!
Rest in peace, Claudia and Sean.

Sincere condolences to Julie, Stephen and family.
Dick was a dearly loved father & grandad. I haven’t known him for very long but I quickly became very fond of him and thoroughly enjoyed our visits to his garden of paradise.

Dick, you asked me to do something for you, the answer is “of course, and always”. RIP x
