I'm speechless. I thik I met Richard twice. First time was when I collected the the M3W, he was with Jays (and if I recall correctly they got locked up in the factory after we left). I didn't talk to him much but Leo, my wife did, because he specifically went up to her and asked her permission to publish the photos of the ocasion on Facebook. She remembers that as a gesture of the politeness we find rare nowadays.
The second time was during the TOTH last July. I'm trying to take a picture of the start line and suddenly I hear a guy next to me saying "Hi Mario, it's nice to see you here". I look and my confusion was aparent because he laughs and says "You have no clue who I am, do you?" ... I do that stupid smile we all do when we're caught up in such a situation and then he says: "I'm Richard, was with Jay when you picked your 3 wheeler" ... then I struck my head and said "Of course, I'm so sorry". And from that moment on we had a chat about the TOTH, my problems with the M3W (he seemed to know pretty much everything about them), about the journeys to and from Portugal in both my Morgans. It was really nice from him to come to greet me (although I can't complain about anyone really, we were overwhelmed with the way TM community received us up there).
For all I knew of him, and I knew little, the lasting memory I'm left with is of a very nice human being. May he rest in peace!
