Jenny and Peter Damiani send condolences and much love to Viv, Simon, Damian and Sarah on the passing of our dear friend Rick. We have wonderful memories of our years together at St David's Parish.
I worked with Rick at Richardson Vicks in the 1970s. Rick was an enthusiastic, affable character who loved his family and loved life. I have kept in touch with him over the years as we reminisced about our working life together. Always extremely positive, even when his health started to deteriorate. Miss you Rick. Peter Jones

All my love to Viv and family for Rick, an individual and special person.
