Kwackers - sad news

Post by MatchboxFreak »

Richard Kwak aka Kwackers aka the Caveman passed away on Friday 25 May 2018.

We will not see his like again.
His passion and knowledge for all things Lesney (particularly the Regular Wheels) was truly unique and genuine. Under the gruff exterior facade, our Caveman’s generosity of spirit and willingness to share were an example to emulate and his joy in toys was infectious.

So I suggest we spend some quality time with our Regular Wheels and raise a toast: To Kwak!

He was a gentleman and a friend. He had an amazing knowledge of Matchbox and was great fun to chat to. He was one of the greatest regular wheel collectors with a phenomenal memory for all things Lesney.

He will be sorely missed.

Sad news indeed - I'm sure all our thoughts are with his family and friends.

That is truly terrible news.
We corresponded regularly via PMs and, even though we never met, I considered him a friend.
His knowledge of RW, in terms of what was around when, was second-to-none.
His passing is a major, major loss to the hobby, and he will be sorely missed.
RIP Dick.
