Sad, sad news.
As for many others on this forum I was lucky enough to be hosted a round at
Dornoch with Rihc. He was generous, fun to chat with and very bright. He and Josie made Tricia and I very welcome that day. We emailed quite a bit a few years ago as he picked my brains about whether or not his daughter should attend Dundee University. And in his inimitable manner made one feel as though it was you that was the fount of all information ... but of course that was never the case, 'twas he.
I, as did others, felt that when he went into hospice care the end was nigh. Mercifully it was not prolonged.
My condolences to you Josie and yer girls, a very sad time but he was much loved and respected.
