Not sure what to say?

Jan,Jody,Julie and all the Staff at Rasmussen Equip I am so sorry for your loss.
It's just so hard to write about a person like Dick.
What can one say to make things better,very little.
I do know this,He had Silver in his hair and Gold in his Heart and he poured a mean gin.
I'll miss him.

Dear Rasmussen Family,

Like so many others I was suprized and saddened to hear the news of Dick's sudden passing. Although not an especially important person in Dick's life, he always treated me as if I were; a remarkable trait from a remarkable man! Dick always made me feel comfortable when ever visiting Rasmussen Equipment Company, taking time to share toughts on business, family and the good things in life. I count myself fortunate to have known Dick, and I will keep him in my...

I will sure miss him at our annual
meeting- I always looked foward to
his new travel stories, and especially the calendars.
With sincere sympathy,

Rasnussen Family,
I am sorry for your loss. My father had the great oppurtinty to work for Dick, he was my dad's boss & great friend for over 30 years. I would go in with my dad when I was little and everytime Dick said hi! The last visit to the office was with my sister & new nephew. My dad was in Dick's office and Dick saw the new addition to the family and gave us a big smile. I'm sure you already know what a wonderful man he was, and I know he will be missed by all.

Rasmussen Family,

With sympathy,

I look up from my desk as I write this and look at a calendar published each year by Dick and it reminds me of his love of distant places and the people living...
