Very sad news that Richard Carter died yesterday, after a very long and painful cancer.

There is no news yet of any farewell event.

Special thanks to classmates who had made contact with Richard to support and reassure him. This was greatly appreciated by him. A very special mention of Peter Jenke and Rod Allen, who closely supported, reassured and reaffirmed him, making sure that he knew that he was valued and held dear as a member of our Class of 1972. This meant so much to him as he faced increasing and constant pain.

And as a footnote, he always hated his nickname, so lets consign that to the rubbish!
