I first met Dick in 1965 when I went to Kingston Polytechnic and joined the Vikings. He was an ASM in the troop. He was with the Vikings from cub through to GSL. In addition he was a team leader with Walton Firs Scout Camp service crews. He kept up his association with the Vikings and Walton Firs until his death. Dick was very versatile at all trades which made him invaluable to the Firs and the Vikings.
Dick was for sometime ADSL in Walton. He was also very involved with Thames Valley Skiff Club. He and Sue lived for many years in Annett road in Walton before moving to Petworth.
I had the pleasure of having Dick as best man at my wedding
Dick and Sue were very caring people and Dick would help anybody when there was a need. They also had very good parties. We well remember Gower House and the parties there! |
