Richard was a great lecturer, I always struggles with my computer science module. He helped me, and also said. "alot of it is easy, people overcomplicate it to make themselves look smart" His words changed my life for the best, now I'm a developer. I wish all the best to his family, Rest in power - he was a great man

Saddened to discover tonight that Richard has passed away. A great loss for your family and everyone that knew him. Richard was my final year supervisor in 1997 with an office full of piles of paper that looked disorganised but it wasn't of course. His enthusiasm, constant grin, kindness, wise inspirational and motivating words were etched in my brain. Every time we met, he'd say something super useful that I still think about to this day! -- "I suspect it's a problem of scale.", "Maybe your seeing an accumulation of errors.", "Start in the middle", "Balance this interesting stuff with making yourself employable.", "Would you like a PhD?" -- Thank you for everything Richard. May you rest in peace for infinity. -- Jeremy Keen.

Thank you for setting up this memorial to Richard. We hope that you find it a positive experience developing the site and that it becomes a place of comfort and inspiration for you to visit whenever you want or need to.
