Richard was a good person and a wonderful friend. He was funny and warm and very kind. He will be missed by all. The world is a little sadder without him. My deepest sympathies for you and his family, and especially his cats.

Richard was a part of our family for over ten years. He came into my sisters life and we considered him part of the family from the very beginning . He certainly fought a good fight against ALS, right up to the end, and he will certainly leave a void in the Ewen family. I know Amanda’s life was better with him in it. Rest In Peace Richard, and may god bless and care for Amanda .
