Jim Bain wrote a sympathy message

“My sincere condolences to Christine and the entire extended family upon Dick’s passing. Dick, ever the gentleman, full of vim and vigour, and assuredly a chuckle or two to those within his purview, will be sorely missed. He is now in eternal rest with his Lord and may that offer you solace and comfort now and always. Jim Bain”
