richards · David "Ricky" Richards

Hi I'm Davids eldest son, Paul. Ricky is currently very ill in Leeds General Infirmary, he suffered a "triple A" 4 weeks ago.

We are looking for anyone who served with Dad who may have some "clean" stories to tell! Well, we're all grown-up now, but the nurses on his ward all look very, very young!!!

Hi Paul, nice to see you made it on but a shame about the circumstances you join us...

I'm afraid your dad was slightly before my time. I was 4 years old when he left! Thee may be a few who remember your dad.

Good luck in your search and best wishes to your dad.
