Hello, my name is Tara.

Richard and I have been incredibly close friends for over 40 years, so much so, he called me 'his 2nd wife'.

I am fundraising for the family of Richard Routledge.

Richard was a popular man - and rightly so. He was incredibly kind and generous.

Whether you knew him though his music promotions, his clothing shop or as a friend, you will feel the sad loss of his passing on 19th July 2025.

Richard leaves behind his wife Christine and children, Mark, Tom, Joe and Natalie.

I am setting up this page for my dear friend Richard, to help the family financially at this awful time.

Any kind donation would be passed on to the family to assist with getting Richard the beautiful send off he truly deserves.

Let's try to give something back to Richard and his family after he has given so much to others over the years.

He was the true definition of 'Gentleman'. He touched all our hearts and we will miss him always.

Thank you for reading this. x
