I am in a group Richard started on Facebook many years ago. When he got sick, I took over his duties.
Here's the latest from a member in the group. I wanted to pass on to you guys. -Angel

Good afternoon friends and followers.

Today, I made a phone to a great and dear friend back in Adelaide, and sadly the news is not good at all.
Richard Abbott, a surveyor of incredible worth, known to many around the world also, the gentleman who founded the group, Baby Boomers 4 Our Australia is not in a very good way, at all.
His lungs are failing him, his muscles have deteriorated to the point he cannot walk anymore and now spends more time in bed than ever before.
I passed on our wishes to him, and I am sorry the news is not good.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to Richard and family.
Stay safe

That is the curse of degenerative ailments.

Hello, I am Richard Abbott's daughter, Gillian (nee Abbott) . He sadly passed away November 2022 a week before his birthday. I have been looking for his friends and in his honour to share with his life story from his radio interview.

Everyone here adored your dad. His visit to Tucson is a memory that I cherish, and I feel lucky and grateful to have spent time with him. I think I can speak for everyone here that we would love if you could share his story with us. Please feel free to contact me directly at webmaster@rpls.com if you'd like to discuss further. Thank you for finding us and posting here! 🙂

Jill,

Yes, we all loved your dad. I was lucky enough to meet him out in Utah and had a fantastic lunch visit. I won't hold the vegemite taste test against him. Thanks for finding us and I'll keep an eye out for any interviews he did.

Andy
