We would like to thank everyone for the love and support extended to Richie over the past 2 years. This includes family and friends and those who sent cards and flowers. Special thanks to Dr Lloyd Mayson, Kevin Montgomery and the wonderful carers from Community Care Options, NSW Home Support Services, Palliative care team and Silver Chain. Also to Sawtell Boardriders for organising Richie's paddleout and to the generosity of Coffs Harbour Boardriders, Coopers Surf and Mick and Sue Beehag.
