Very Very sad news.
He was a very respected bloke on here. I wasn't lucky enough to meet him personally but he was very helpful to myself when I 1st got my Deli with free advice and the odd part from his shed of spares,
From just a couple of messages, I knew he was old school and someone you could trust.
Thoughts with yourself and your family Rick.
You will live on in many Mitsubishis for a long long time to come.
You will be well miseed... _________________ A Little Knowledge is Dangerous and expensive! especially if your me Mending anything!! |

Oh ... such sad, sad news.
I never met him, but I know he was of tremendous help to many people on this forum.
I can't recall ever seeing a bad word written about him, he was a man held in great esteem who I am sure will be sorely missed.
My thoughts go out to his family and friends at this sad time.
RIP Rick. |

RIP Rick.
My thoughts are with Julie and family on the loss of a true legend.
Rick was genuinely one of the nicest guy's you could ever meet. He did a fair bit of work on the Yorkshire Warrior after I was no longer able to and we always had a good laugh with the neighbours stopping to watch him work on it.
I don't think I could even count the amount of people he has helped on here, never mind those on the Pajero owners club and other Yellow Diamond club members.
A sad loss indeed. _________________

Never met Rick, but expected to need him. One part of his legacy must be all the beloved vehicles still putting a smile on their owners' faces. Felt I knew him from the amount he taught me on here, and everyone's praise for the man and his work. Is there a collection for a tribute? _________________ Andy C L300 Super Exceed - over 100 smiles per gallon! |

I met Rick a few times over the last few years, such a genuine bloke. An immeasurable loss to the Deli/paj community.
My deepest sympathies to his family, i lost my father to the same illness, very hard to come to terms with.

Top man, pulled me out the *beep* on more than one occassion, free with his knowlage and always happy to help.
Besides his mechanical knowlage he was dry humoured with his wit - almost black/gallows type humour, but funny all the same.
He came to my house to do a job but forgot his specs, so we went to the local B&M were he tried on several pairs from the £2.00 rack until settling for a ladies pair. I said " They are ladies, " he said " They are the best ! "
The thoughts of the Yoza family are with his at this testing time, R.I.P Richard. _________________ Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity.... |
