Tributes
Leave a tributeTo Pauline and Family. Sincerely sorry for your loss. I had only just come to know Richard in the past 12 mths and always enjoyed the chats and visits to the horses. He loved his standbreds and was obviously a great judge of a good one! I’ll be cheering on Catch A Wave for you over the coming months. Condolences from Feargal and the team at Southwest Equine Vets

To Pauline and family our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time
We have very fond memories of Richard during his time with Caltex and always joked about him one day changing the colour of his shirt
He did later on to yellow and green BP !
A great friend and colleague who I held in great regard
Vale Richard

Our thought with you all at this sad times. Leon and Luda GleesonOctober 06, 2022 6:19 pm
My memory of Richard is a decent bloke, reasonably placid yet serious about the the things that matter- his family and his ambitions. Not many people have the capacity to achieve in a life time anywhere near as much as this bloke has. he ought to be proud of all his success, Pauline and every single one of their kids are just as good at being down to earth and genuinely nice. My sincerest sympathy to you. You gave people a fair go.
