9 November 2025.
My assumptions were correct: Cancer took my dear friend in Great Britain on 13th September. I have today received confirmation from Cheryl, his wife.
"[Richard] died at his local hospice, as he wished it. The funeral was on 10th October... I have just read your memorial message of 21st October. Thank you so much! I had never seen any of Richard's musings before and they are such a wonderful reminder of my darling, talented, funny husband. I won't lie, I have cried a lot this morning, but the fact that you have kept and posted his messages, well, that's the best gift anyone could have given me. Wishing you strength and all the very best." Cheryl
