Dick was an incredibly generous and caring man who always had a mischievous twinkle in his eye. He will be sadly missed by everyone who knew him.
Lots of love to Judith. ‘Sorry’ evenings won’t be as loud and funny without Dicky Bird and Mike. Hope you two found each other wherever you are. Your kindness and humour will remain among us.
Judith, we are very shocked and saddened to learn about Dick, A kind, gentle, funny, loving gentleman, we remember fondly our time spent with you both and the rest of the family, we send our love to you all 💜 Tim, Karen & Amélia 💜
We will remember Dick as a generous and cheerful man. Our friendship was short but sincere. May he rest in peace now. Loving thoughts to Judith and all her family. Frank and Marino
I first met Dick when my sister brought him to Louth to introduce him to the family. From that moment on and for the following forty years plus he had a massively positive influence on my life. In all my ups and downs through my life he was supportive, encouraging, and always helpful with an ability to tell me truth when I was not always wanting to hear it. I will miss his wicked sense of humour which never failed to hit the mark - actually I will just miss him full stop. A lovely, generous and kind person..
Nous envoyons plein d'amour à Judith et nous souvenons avec émotion d'un moment si précieux et joyeux à la Chapelle aux lys autour d'un brasero dehors alors qu'il faisait frais. Dick était heureux de partager ce repas avec toi Judith sa femme , Carole qui venait de perdre son mari Michaël et nous même. Vous avez su malgré tout nous faire rire et sourire et célébrer la vie. Une pensée particulière pour ces moments de bonheur simple , pour Judith et Dick. Muriel et Gilles
you were a very precious friend, I will miss you very much and you will always be in my thoughts and in my heart.
"Chez Dick et Judith" was a second home for us in La Chapelle aux Lys, which they always opened to us with generosity. We didn't meet them very often, but I know that they were precious friends to my sister Carole and her husband Michael. They were the four partners we often saw in photos in the garden or on the terrace of a restaurant. When Michael died we were all together and despite our sadness Dick made us laugh with some very funny anecdotes. He is now leaving us, and we will treasure those warm memories. Judith, we send you lots of love and thoughts of support. We'll be with you in spirit to celebrate Dick on 26 June.
Thank you for setting up this memorial to Dick. 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.
I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are. Speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
