Did not know he exsisted till I was 33. He was a good dancer and loved the ladies. Kicked in the head by a horse when he was 4. After the war he became a powder monkey, laying dynamite in mines around Iron Knob and Whyalla.
Had 4 sons all by different women and possibly 1 daughter. Worked for the Burnside dairy and was called Nugget because of his long golden hair which he flipped back out of his eyes continually. Their were 3 brothers and 3 sisters in the Richter clan. Ended up in a Victor Harbor home and then Glenelg where he died aged 82. He became a lonely man and he had no one visit him for 20 years until I sought him out. My mother told me he was my real father. He was a small framed man with a slight limp. The skin on his face was scarred from the dynamite powder burns. He spoke in short bursts and not sentences. Smoked a pipe. I retrieved an old army issue bullet box for him and it was full of old clothes and hats and shoes. His last possessions were shared out to other men at the home. Once he was collected by the police at a hotel in the city. He told the officer he owned the pub. Contact Terry Daviess 0400 622 044
