Dickie Best Passes

16 April 2008

Our Patron Richard Best died at 1.00pm today in the Ulster Hospital Dundonald. He was in his 89th year; he died peacefully in his sleep with his family around him.

Over the years as everyone knows Dickie had his sorrows to bear but he faced them always with courage and dignity. He was a man who took great joy and pride in his family. He was a loving and supportive father to all his sons and daughters and to the wider families.

He was an irreplaceable father whose bravery, integrity and wisdom shaped our lives, he was a towering influence in our lives, he was our hero and is hard to imagine life without him.
