So sad to hear of Dick's passing. He has been a great friend of our family and a colleague of my father at the Manawatu County Council when it was based in Sanson. Many great memories of Dick from Sanson days and our family gatherings and functions which June and Dick attended. Condolences to June and family.

I would like to acknowledge the work that Richard (Dick) McAllister put into the RSA committee when he was involved with Sanson/Ohakea RSA. He was very committed to helping bringing the best outcome for local veterans when the club was closing down. He was held with great respect amongst all who served with him and although many have gone now, we all remember him with fond memories. Paul & Lyn Hendra
