Not sure what to say?

Kevin, we just learned about your loss. Although we didn't know your father, we can see how special he was and how much he will be missed by family and friends. We will keep him and you and your mom and sister in our prayers.

To the entire Rival family ,
Peter was such a special guy . We didn't see him often but every single time we did, it was like we were his long-lost friends- we loved him and the light he brought into every room. God bless you Peter .
Chris and Tony Murphy

Dear Kevin and Family,

I was very saddened to hear of the loss of your father. Having lost my father this year, I know how difficult it can be. My thoughts and prayers are with you in this time of need.

To my team mate in life, my pal Pete.
You are not gone, you are just not here.
You will be with me always in my mind, heart and spirit.
Love Ya, Bob Struzenski Sr.

Lisa, Kevin and Mrs. Rival,
I am so sorry for your loss my thoughts and prayers are with you. Mr. Rival is in a safe place and will always be watching over his beloved family and protecting them. May you be strong with all of the wonderful happy memories you have to remember him by. I send my deepest condolences.

Ann, Lisa and Kevin,
All you had to say was say "baseball" and Pete was there. He was a great coach and a good person. He will be missed.

Ann, athough I am unable to attend Pete's service I want you to know how sad I was to hear of his passing. One of a kind and one of the kindest person I will ever know. My dad thought so much of Pete and I know the feeling was mutual. I have some pictures when you visited my parents camping and I will get them to you soon. Rick

Kevin,
I am so sorry for your loss. I only had the chance to meet your Dad several times and from those meetings I could tell how special he was. I know how much he meant to you and your family just from the way you spoke of him. My condolences to you and all of your family.
