This is sad news. Rick was our neighbor . in the early 1970s when we lived in Wainuiomata. at that time we could not buy fence posts, so Rick and I decided to make our own from concrete (reinforced). Rick would play squash on a Saturday morning, then help with the concreting, don't know where the energy came from. However
I believe these posts are still standing.
Rick and Lou taught my wife Kate and I to play squash. hard as I tried I never got anywhere close to Ricks level of play.
Willie and Kate.

We were so sad to hear of Rick's passing. He was an exciting part of my childhood growing up. I only wish we stayed in contact more often. Though when we caught up it was as if time had never passed. Sending our deepest sympathy to Lou, George, Toni and all your family. Tony & Heather Green

Rick Bettle can only be described as one of the most competent and honest chairpeople you could ever work with as I found on the Racing Industry Board I am saddened to hear of Rick's passing as he can only be described as a thorough gentleman
Rest in Peace Rick
