It is with sadness that we advise that Richard Luce died on the night of Wednesday 22 April 2009.

Richard had been a bastion to the consumer electronics industry, firstly as a director of Sharp Australia and more recently as a director of Narta from 2002 to 2006.

In a statement issued by Narta this afternoon, a spokesperson reported that Luce’s funeral will be held at 3pm on Monday 27 April at St Thomas Aquinas Church, 2 Bendooley Street, Bowral, New South Wales.

Following the service, there will be a celebration of his life at Bowral Golf Club, at the corner of Kangaloon Road and David Street, Bowral.
