Obituary - 2020

Richard Day

Sad news. We were cadets together on Argyllshire. Communicated for a while after that then lost touch. Condolences to his family.

Reg Kelso

I had the pleasure and privilege of serving with your father and he was a popular and extremely efficient Officer who contributed a very great deal to the happiness and wellbeing of the ships in which he served. In recent years we kept in touch with regard to his failing health and the exposure to asbestos which caused it.
