Barrie Rickards - Sad news
Nov 5th, 2009 at 6:24pm
 
It's with deep regret that I have to inform you all that Barrie Rickards passed away today.

I have no more details at present but will keep you informed as and when I hear any more.

  Thats very sad to hear that, he was an iconic angler and he was one of the anglers that gave me inspiration to fish for Pike many years back. Sad

That's just ruined my night. It's difficult to even take it in. I passed his house on the way home from work tonight and thought about his part in my own love of pike fishing, as I do most nights.

A genuinely inspirational bloke. An impossible act to follow.

God bless you Barrie.

with respect Chris Hammond

Absolutely gutted to hear the news. Spent a very enjoyable few hours in Barrie's company just a few weeks ago at the Fenland Fair, and he had always been an inspiration and a great help in several matters.

Death of a Piking legend.  Cry Cry Cry

RIP
