A Sad Farewell to Dtox
Back in the day BE was The Place To Be for British Expats in Australia.
Xmas in July, Tuesday nights in Gilhooleys, Golf Days, Sydney Meet-ups after work, Hillarys gatherings, and so many other parties and groups.
The community has fostered friendships that have lasted 10-15-20 years, there have been returnees, love affairs, marriages, divorces, births,and inevitably deaths.
We lost Timber a few years back, many of us were personal friends and have a lot of memories of him.
Sadly we have now lost another of our clan. Dtox was his BE name, He went by many others including Richie and Richard. He was the DJ for the Gold Coast Xmas in July meets, he lived for his music, a fanatical Chelsea supporter, a guy with an amazing sense of humour.
I know few people on here now will remember him, but I wanted to post this for those of us that mourn his passing and will miss his presence in our lives. I know the BE community will join me in sending our sympathy and condolences to his family..
Rest in Peace Dtox

I was not aware of him but from your description he sounds like yer typical Top Bloke (as are most around here). Anyone with a sweet spot for Chelsea AND a music fan is alright by me.
R.I.P. Dtox and thoughts to the family.

Sad news Polly. I joined BE too late to know Dtox, but he was obviously a big part of the BE community and pitched in to help when needed. My condolences to his family and everyone who will miss him.

I've seen the news of facebook, but only Rich through there - introduced by a friend as we worked in the same occupation and he provided help at times with ideas for job hunting.
I saw his post on Saturday about watching the rugby, so it was such a shock to see the news on Sunday morning.
RIP Rich / Dtox

I hadn't see him since they moved from Brisbane to Perth, but we often chatted on facebook. Lovely funny guy.
Hope you are at peace Rich.

I was lucky enough to meet him a few times and silly enough to not let it be more. I "saw" him more on Facebook. To say he was a great guy is a huge understatement. Extremely sad news.
