My brother-in-law, Richard Powell, who has died aged 62 of cancer, was an engineer who created and sold high-quality metal furniture. He was also a passionate restorer of historic motor vehicles, and a man full of humour and energy.
Richard was born in Farnborough, Kent. His parents, Eric Powell, a police officer, and Patricia (nee Baker), a medical secretary, encouraged Richard to look for opportunities further afield.
