Richard Tolley—A beloved figure in his community, Richard Tolley, passed away unexpectedly on October 1st, leaving a deep void in the hearts of his family, friends, and loved ones. His daughter, Sophie Tolley, shared that this loss has been a devastating and heartbreaking time, especially for Richard’s grandchildren, Arlia and Archie, who cherished their grandfather.
Richard was known to many as Rich Tee, a name he embraced while broadcasting on Portsmouth Underground Radio. His smile, energy, and passion for music made him a beloved figure in the local music scene. Thomas Patton, a close friend, expressed his sorrow on Facebook, saying, "This smiley happy face is our brother in music on Portsmouth Underground Radio Rich Tee, who we tragically lost last week." He encouraged others to donate to help cover funeral costs, emphasizing that any contribution, no matter the amount, would be appreciated.
Sophie Tolley has organized a GoFundMe campaign to support the funeral expenses and fulfill her father’s wishes. She shared that the funds raised would also go toward a charitable cause that Richard held dear. Donations have already started coming in, with contributions from individuals such as Lisa Bissell, who donated £30, Daniel Griffin, who gave £50, and an anonymous donor, who provided the first contribution of £20.
The family is overwhelmed by the love and support pouring in from friends and community members during this difficult time. Plans for Richard’s memorial are underway, and the family will share details for those who wish to attend once arrangements are finalized.
We offer our deepest condolences to the Tolley family and all those affected by Richard’s passing. May his memory shine bright in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Richard’s family during this incredibly difficult time.
