Not sure what to say?

As a former coworker and neighbor I wish his family and love ones the fondest of memories of Dickon his heavenly birthday.

Dear Cathy, Mary and Tom, You may not remember me. I met you at your home in VT almost 30 years ago. When I was student, I studied at School for International Training in Brattleboro in 1980. I stayed for two weeks at the Kaufmann's home as a home-stay program then. Dick and Mom welcomed me warmly and took care of me. I remember Mom's very good cook. Meatball spaghettis was my favorite dish and Mom made it many times after she knew my favorite. She was very very kind to me even I couldn't...

Dear Cathy, Mary and Tom I am so very sorry for your loss. Not only did I work with Dick at G.S. Precision but also I was your neighbor on Shady Lane on the other side of the "loop". May the Good Lord comfort you in your time of sorrow. Prayers and respect,

I am deeply sorry to hear of Dick's passing. I worked with Dick for almost twenty years (back when he had longer hair) I will miss Dick very much as I'm sure you will. Remembering Dick's smile and welcoming personality will always bring a smile to my face.
I will often think of him.

I am sorry to hear of loss. Dick was a great HR manager and also easy to talk. We all miss you at work.

Dear Kathy, Mary and Thomas, I did not know Dick for a long time but long enough to know he was a good and kind man! He will be remembered for his selflessness by all who knew him. My prayers go out to all of you.

Rich was a great guy and always took the time to offer advice to us younger guys at school. As John Reinke has already said, his brothers at Manhattan celebrate his life and send our love to his dear family. The spirit of his life has now been joined to ours eternally.

In God's peace.

My deepest sympathies are with you, Cathy, Mary and Thomas. You are in my prayers. Dick was, as I used to tell him, The Best Boss in the Whole World. I will miss him a great deal.

The Manhattan Prep / Manhattan College alumni community shares the grief, and is now praying for our fellow alumni and the family at this time. The Alumni Office at Manhattan College has been informed. As well as the Prep & Jasper community that I personally can reach. We are all a little poorer now. "No man is an island, entire of itself ... any man's death diminishes me". We are sorry for your loss.

On a personal note, Rich was the first one who called after Frau Reinke died. He...
