Richard passed away on 12 October 2020. It was such a shock to all of us at Lovegroves to lose you so suddenly. We miss your booming voice, your vibrant personality, your practical jokes and your zest for life. You were such a caring person who was always there to listen and give advice. Farewell our friend and colleague.
