Save
our Selsey
Campaign for Coastal Defence
Richard Dearsley
We
were all deeply saddened by the sudden and untimely death of our chairman
Richard Dearsley.
After several weeks in hospital, Richard died suddenly on 18th December 2011.
Richard was co-founder of SOS and has made a huge contribution in securing the 'Hold the Line' policy for Selsey's coastal defences, potentially saving many homes from flooding in the future.
Selsey councillor, Roland O'Brien said, "Richard was incredibly dynamic and irrepressably cheerful. He fought Selsey's corner with great passion and straight talking. He will be sadly missed by those who knew him."
A service will be held at the Catholic Church in Selsey, Our Lady of Mount Carmel and St Wilfred on Friday 6 January at 11.30am.
We send our heartfelt condolences to Richard's wife Gill and his family.
