So sorry for your loss of Richard, a truly beautiful man with a lovely soul. I had the pleasure of being his hairdresser for many years up until 2019. He always spoke about his wife and how much he missed her and I will always remember the nuggets of wisdom he shared with me about life. Rest in peace Richard x
