I think quite a lot of you on here will have met RJ, Richard, who posted on here from time to time, and is genuinely one of the nicest men I ever met. A true gent, and someone I could talk to about the Isles and birds knowing he would never glaze over.
His obituary puts it best, "Softly spoken and understated, jovial, perceptive, tactically clever, and determinedly non-institutional, Richard Evans was admired and loved by colleagues and friends - as much for his humanity as for his deep intelligence."
He suffered a heart attack riding to work on 26th July, and died in hospital 2 weeks later. We'd meant to meet up quite a few times for a coffee at Edinburgh Park, and now feel awful that we never managed it.
Thoughts are with his wife and son.
