Richard HOOPER

Saddened to hear of the passing of Richard while I was away. At the start of my career I had the huge benefit of being mentored by Richard during my time in IBI in the 1970's. Not only did I learn so much about Corporate Finance and the great art of negotiation but on a personal level Richard had a kind and caring nature and was generous with his time which I much appreciated.

Maeve and all the Hooper family sorry to hear of your fathers passing. RIP. Fiona & Shane

To Aisling, sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. May he rest in peace.

To Kathleen and family and extended family, we would like to extend our most sincere condolences and deepest sympathies on Richard’s passing. He was a wonderful Commodore, sailor and person. He welcomed me into the club, at the new members evening, when he was Commodore and I shall always appreciate his kindness and encouragement. May he rest in peace. Kindest regards Emer.

Kathleen and family I am so sorry for your loss. Richard was a lovely gentleman, he was always so friendly and courteous and had such a mischievous smile. To think myself and Jim met him with you (Kathleen), Brían and Heather in Dalkey only last month and now both Jim and Richard are gone. I hope they are swapping sailing yarns up above with the rest of our dearly departed sailors.
