Dr. Richard E. Offerman

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome...

Oh how Steve and I adore you!! And our patio furniture too!! Your memory will live on with your bright and sunny disposition. We will miss you dearly. Rest in peace. We'll meet again uncle Dick.

Dick, You will be missed more than you could have imagined. All of the memories we all share will never be forgotten. Kurt had the greatest time at the track with you even though Jackie & I were worried. I understand you had a great time with Greg also. They will miss the chance to do it again. I am sad to have had you in all of our lives for such a limited time. Kurts children will miss Mr. Dick. See you in the future, you make the best cosmo's.
But for now, we will make them for...

DICK, YOU BRIGHTENED OUR DAYS HERE AT BANYAN........YOU ALWAYS HAD A HELPING HAND FOR OTHERS, AND SERVED THE BEST COSMOS! I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT NIGHT WE PICKED YOU UP AT AIRPORT, WITH JUST " A FEW" OF JACKIES SUITCASES...........AND THEN UNLOADING IN THE PARKING LOT. YOU WERE TRULY A GENTLEMAN.AND A GENTLE- MAN. WE WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER YOU WITH MUCH LOVE AND LAUGHS.....YOU WILL TRULY BE MISSED HERE IN BANYAN COURTS

Dick was a dear friend of our family. His wonderful mother, Trudy, was my mothers best friend. And his dad, Speed was like a father to me growing up. Having lost my own dad when I was just 14. I remember such wonderful times. My sincere sympathy and love goes out to Dick's family.

I am saddened today by the passing of Dr. Offerman. As a child that grew up with Buck teeth and a few years of corrections in my mouth growing up, I got to know Dr. Offerman and his staff as a child. They have always felt like family. I will kiss my 6 day old son Bennett today knowing that Dr. Offerman in a very cool indirect way had a profound effect on him and my life.
My favorite Dr. Offerman story is that at a basketball camp at Carroll College I got my braces stuck in another...

My thoughts and prayers are with you in this time of loss.

At the rising of the sun and at its going down,
We remember them.

At the blowing of the wind and in the chill of Winter, We remember them.

At the opening of buds and in the rebirth of Spring,
We remember them.

At the blueness of the skies and in the warmth of Summer,
We remember them.

At the rustling of leaves and the beauty of Autumn,
We remember them.

At the beginning of the...
