Rick was diagnosed with lung cancer in August 2009 and after a difficult struggle finally passed away on New Year's Day.

This website is a tribute to Rick as a devoted family man and a loyal friend to a great many people.

As an alternative to flowers at his funeral, Rick's family feel that he would have liked donations to go to Cancer Research a charity which has been supported by the family for many years.
