A class act, on and off the air. Good luck, Richard!
He will be dearly missed by all who know him. It was a pleasure working with him for many years.
To you and your wife Richard, all the best in your retirement. It has been a pleasure knowing you.

Such a smooth voice. Has such a knack for filling three minutes with complex stories digested into a few sentences. Really appreciated the time when he and Russ Byth were paired, easily forming the best business news team in this part of the world.
Richard … a well deserved retirement …
Worked with you in Abbotsford and enjoyed the time …
Have fun … the good years ahead for you!
Have a great time in retirement, Richard.
Thanks for such professional and knowledgeable reporting Richard…enjoy retirement!
Oh my goodness! What will we do without Richard?
