A truly heartfelt and wonderful farewell for Rich, known as 'Smithy', 'Apollo Screed', and 'Vinyl Richie'.
This day was filled with sadness yet celebrated his life, as hundreds gathered to ensure thier man received the farewell he so richly deserved.
If Smithy was your friend, he was a friend for life—loyal and kind-hearted,
adored by his family. He was a vibrant spirit who could instantly brighten everyone's mood the moment he entered the room.
So many will miss him dearly.
I want to express my gratitude to his incredible family, who, despite their heartbreak, have been a pillar of strength for one another.
Rest easy, Ric HARD.
Celebrant Adie.
