Not sure what to say?

My Chinese name is Richard was a classmate of mine at National CK university, also a colleague of mine at IBM. I was also a neighbor of his wife Theresa in my junior high years in Wuhan, China. I didn't know his passing away until just now. Very sorry to find out this way. I wish his wife and family all the best. His father was my Dean and professor of Mechanical Engineering, and we had a lot of fun together during our four university years. I am proud of him.

Ben: So sorry for your loss. My condolences to you and your family. It is evident that he lived a very rich life and truly enjoy every moment and made a lasting imprint personally and professionally. He will be missed by many !

Theresa,
I am so sorry to hear of Dick's passing. We truly enjoyed sharing the neighborhood with you both. Your family is in our prayers.

Hi Ben,
Heartfelt condolences. This must be a difficult time for you and your family.

Mrs. Chu - we are so sorry to hear of your loss. Please know you are in our hearts and prayers.

Dick Chu was one of a kind: Always helpful, always friendly. When he - almost a year earlier than he expected - became the first elected president of the IBM Academy of Technology he rose to the occasion and showed how persuasive a leader of IBM's technical community he was.

You are a great leader in our community and warm & fun friend. I shall cherish your friendship and many wonderful memories at your beloved lakehouse forever.

Ben - I am sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. Your Dad and family are in our thoughts and prayers. God bless you and your family in this difficult time.

Ben,
Our thoughts and prayers and with you and your family.
