[Healeys] Rich Chryslers Passing

[Derek Job]

This is a total shock and absolute tragedy. I called Rich about 6 weeks ago
when as usual, I didn't know what I was doing on my car. He gave me the
correct advice of course and mentioned he and Lynn had been planning a trip
to England in September, but that he was currently 'laid up' with an
illness. I had absolutely no idea it was cancer and Rich of course would
not have wanted to mention it.

I don't think I have ever met a more genuine guy, enthusiastic, kind and
friendly who had absolutely no ego and was willing to share his vast
knowledge with everybody. I was looking forward to hosting him and Lynn in
the UK and visiting the local steam railways which was his other great
passion.

RIP Rich, my friend, and condolenes to Lynn and the family.

Derek
