Mr Richard Blizzard

[Dick Turpin]

Does any member of the forum know if Mr Richard Blizzard is still alive and if so do they know where he lives even the town or county I wish to make contact with him

Any help would be appreciated

This site claims he's still with us but I don't know if it's true or not.

Have you tried contacting the publishers of his books?

Incidentally. The Wood Wizard' is currently showing on 'Discovery Shed' Sky TV channel 242 Saturday & Sunday from 7:00pm.

regards

Brian

Hi Brian,
Thanks for the information and the suggestion I think the publishers is the best rout to follow.

Looking in my copy of Blizzard's Wonderful Wooden Toys I found an address. Bearing in mind it's from a price list dated 1983 here it is:
RE & VJ Blizzard,
Five Leaves,
Bussage
Stroud,
Gloucestershire
GL3 4RJ

although a Gmaps search shows GL6 8AT (and a better location befitting an icon)

Other book I have are:
More of Blizzard's Wooden Toys
Blizzard's Action Toys

Surely that can't be the same one!

I've removed that post Steve since it was announced in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel so I suspect it may be just a tad inaccurate..............

8 years ago he was still living in Bussage, just up the valley from where we lived. No idea since then?

After a spot of research, I have found the following....

Richard E Blizzard, Patricia R Blizzard
Stroud, Gloucestershire, GL6
Electoral Role - 2002, 2005-09

Richard Blizzard, Patricia Blizzard
Hereford, Hereford And Worcester, HR1
Electoral Role - 2010-12

If you want to pay a small fee you can get the full address online '192'

Regardless, he was still alive and well in 2012.

Understood, BUT 'I' only posted a small amount of the address, 'I' did not post an address in full.

GL3 is Churchdown which, unless they moved it isn't Bussage.

GL6 is Bussage (senior moment there folks )

It's quite possible he's still there..
