Richard George Birks
     Richard George Birks was born on 22 February 1949 in Cottingham, Yorkshire, England.1,2 He was the son of George Lamb Birks and Jean Elliot. After attending Art College in Hull, Richard worked for a firm in London, which then sent him to Brussels. Richard had been trained as a graphic designer and he had the meticulous eye of an expert in his field. No detail in graphics was too small to escape his scrutiny. After a time, he and two partners, set up their own design business there in Brussels. Eventually, he set up his own design firm.3 Richards partners introduced him to Barbara Moreton and her daughter Gennie. Barbara was also artistic by nature, and her work entailed the retouching of photographs, painstakingly painting out imperfections.3 He married Barbara M C Moreton in 1983 in Stockport, Cheshire, England, some would same this marriage was the smartest thing Richard ever did!!! They decided to move permanently to England and Richard insisted they lived in Arkengarth.4,3 Although they moved to England Richard was convinced he could work remotely and retain his customer base. Alas, it was not to be. So he was one of the first to work at the new Tesco when it opened in Catterick in the year 2000. He also worked at the Red Lion.3 Richard died on 29 December 2017 in Yorkshire, England, aged 68 in a car accident.3
