Richard Edward Riffelmacher

Riff was a good guy and a good manager. He reminds me of the happy days we all had at DEC.

A mountain of a man who left an indelible impression on my work days at DEC. My thoughts and prayers go out for everyone he was close to.

Riff will always be in my thoughts and prayers and I have wonderful memories of him and our whole family together to last a lifetime. An absolutely wonderful man who gave me the love of my life, Lisa Marie and for that I will be forever thankful to him. I have been and always will be honored to have been his son-in-law and part of his life. Until we meet again in the hereafter of our lives. All of my love and respect. May God's light shine brightly upon you.

Riff, I heard the news. I was sad for a moment, but as the memories of you rolled through my head I couldn't suppress a smile. You were always kind to a cocky little kid, and never left me feeling like the kid I was. You treated me like a man and a friend. You may have left us, but I will never forget you. Thank you and God bless you my friend.

Riff will be missed by ALL the people who's lives he touched while he lived. He had a great affect on the life of the most important person in my life. He belived in her and proved to her she is a intellegent and beautiful person. Riff gave both of us the courage we needed to change our lives and be together. The world has lost a man who cared about every person he met. He has the respect of me and any one he ever met.

I have known Riff since my childhood. He was a great man who brought joy and laughter to all those who were blessed enough to have known him. He was also a wonderful friend and companion to my mother. To have Riff taken from us this soon is a tragedy.I will always have very fond memories of Riff and he will never be forgotten.

I was deeply saddened to hear of Riff's death. He was a great boss, co-worker and friend. I always enjoyed being on his pool team and have many other fond memories of him. My deepest sympathies to Sandy, Renee, Lisa and the rest of the family. Rest in Peace, Riff, my friend.

Dearest Lisa and Renee,
Your dad was such a good man and good friend. Even though there were many miles between us we remained close over the years. Every time he came back east he would spend an evening with us and we would laugh the time away reminiscing. He will be missed but will remain forever in our hearts.
