YOUR TRIBUTES

Rich was a lovely guy with such a positive attitude to work and life. I feel extremely honoured to have worked with Rich as a colleague, and to have known him as a friend. He was an inspiration to us all…and he will be sadly missed.

Going into work each day just isn't the same without Rich there. I don't think I need to say what a great guy he was nor how much we are all missing him. Thankyou to Ellie and to Rich's family for inviting us to his service, it meant a lot to be there. My heart goes out to you.

Ive known Rich for a few years as a work colleague and always found him to be a really top bloke. Whether talking about work, football or anything else, he was always the same friendly, funny, generous and helpful.

A tragic loss of a genuinely good guy. My heartfelt condolences to his family and loved ones.

Rich and I studied Maths together at Leeds Uni. I bumped into him on the first day at uni, when we both couldn't find the room we had a meeting in.
From then, our friendship started. I last saw Rich end of May when I came up to Leeds. As ever, he was in good spirits and we had a good catch up - we even talked through the Newcastle football club issues, which he was extremely passionate about.

Rich was a good man, who had a good sense of humour, was intelligent, extremely caring towards others and also a down to earth guy. He taught me many things and I'll never forget him.

He will be missed by everyone that knew him. My thoughts are with his fiance Ellie, and his family. Rest in peace mate.

Regards,

I knew Rich from our days together at the University of Leeds. He really was the nicest guy you could ever meet and I think myself very lucky to have been his friend.


I'll always remember him with a smile on his face because I don't think I ever saw him without one.


My thoughts are with his family and his fiancée Ellie.

Richard was with me on Deal or No Deal and was a great guy who was a real team player giving me and others great support for our games on the chair. I am really shocked and the other contestants who I have spoken to.
All our thoughts are with Richards family and the lovely Ellie.
I feel privileged to have known a great lad even for such a short space of time
