Raymond Critchell
Written by Hartley Heaton   

To all the many friends and corresponders of our dear dad Raymond Critchell , it is with great sadness that we must tell you that we lost dad very suddenly and with no warning on Wednesday evening the 17th of November 2011.

Mum was here with him and it has been a great shock to her but she and we too take great comfort from the fact that it was so sudden that dad would have known very little about it. He'd also spent a very happy day reading his new book on someone else's experiences in Zambia. We all feel that it couldn't have happpened any better way.

If any of you would like to contact us could you send your messages to myself Rosie at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

You need JavaScript enabled to view it and we'll deal with them and pass them on to mum.

Thanks all for the hours of enjoyment you've shared with dad, it gave him a sense of purpose and belonging and made him really happy, so again many thanks.

Our best wishes to you all

David and Rosie Critchell
