So very sad to hear the news of Richard (Lofty), we both joined the Army at Carlisle together in January 1960, he was such a lively character and a lovely man. We all had lost touch with him, but only recently he popped up and joined the rest of the Div guys at a 60A Div reunion. We just loved to have him with us, and he light up the room, you will always be remembered with fondest love. R.I.P, Arte et Marte

Known Ricki since he stayed with us for a short while when I was a child, a good friend of my dads. Such a lovely man, always had a hug ready when I saw him. Hope you and my dad are putting the world to right up there xx.
