Richard Harris 1973-2013
Richard was a member of the Sonning Common Green Gym for most of its existence and travelled regularly from Goring, where he lived. To begin with he had to be brought by someone else but later on he passed his driving test and was able to drive himself. As time went by he gained in confidence and was great when there was heavy work to be done. He seemed to be able to remember everything about everybody and always knew the details of next week’s session and who was leading it.
Richard was obviously proud of being a Green Gym member and, when he was unable to come, always wanted to be remembered to everyone. It will be strange not to see his cheerful face and broad grin. He also brought the average age of the group down significantly! A Memorial Service has been held at Goring Free Church.
