Richard Ellisdon (2 Nov 1940 - 22 Aug 2023)

Such a great loss of a good friend.
When we first met over 40 yrs ago he proved to be inspirational and supportive mentor encouraging me throughout my life long surveying career, always available to dispense sensible and thoughtful advice.
We shared the highs and lows that following Chelsea and Surrey inevitably brings. So many great memories of good times and excellent company at the Bridge, the Oval, Curry evenings, the list goes on..
Any time spent in Richard's company was inevitably lit up with his ability to tell a good captivating yarn, remember minutiae from decades previous and still bring tears of laughter, particularly when recounting the absurdity of any given situation/experience.
We shared an appreciation of 'rusty industrial gold' (tat?) and I miss our weekly e-mails.
As has been said elsewhere he was a true gentleman - old school class.
Rest easy my friend,
Love and hugs to all the family,

Steve & Jennie

Rest in peace Richard x
