My sincere sympathy to you all for your very sad loss of your husband dad and grandad.

I knew Richie for approx 15 years and always enjoyed his company especially his humour, he was a gentleman and very warm.

May he rest in peace and hopefully you will all be consoled by reflecting on his wonderful and very full life

Very sorry to hear the passing of Richie. He was very good to me as a kid and I remember very fondly all the playful days with Ronan in the back garden. Deepest condolences to all the family. David.

Elva MackayFamily friend & part of Mackay Family

So deeply saddened to hear of Ritchie’s passing. Ritchie was loved by all of us, and was an adopted member of the Mackay Family. We will deeply miss him, his sense of humour and his kindness – he was such a loyal friend to Dad and laterally such a rock of support for Dad. Thinking of you all at this incredibly difficult time. You are in my prayers and my thoughts.
