Richard James "Dick" Rossman

We would like to express our sympathy to all the Rossman family at the death of their father, Dick. You are all in our thoughts and prayers through this difficult time. While I met him only once, I know he was a very good man through the stories I heard from Judy, Eileen and Joan that were shared with pride.

My sincere sympathies in the loss of Dick. He was a jewel. I was always amazed at his commitment to St. Vincent de Paul and Queen of Peace when I was a parishioner there. You were blessed to have him for so many years and I'm sure you will miss him terribly.

Joan:

Some things will always be in style.

Good solid things like honesty, and trust and caring about people.

It’s qualities like these that keep us aware of who we are and what we can give to life.

It’s qualities like these, that Grandpa Rossman taught us to value, through his influence, his example, and his love.

It has made me love him very much, and has made me very proud to have had him for our friend.

In loving memory of...

Dear Fr. Dick, Ron and I wish to send our love and condolences to you and your family regarding the passing of your father. We just read the article in the current Catholic Sentinel, "They made Jesus present". Some very nice words about your Dad---his quiet manner of helping others and serving the Lord. We send you our blessings this Christmas---a very busy time for you! All is well here for our family as we celebrate one year cancer-free for Kristin. Blessings, Diane and Ron Orme.

I remember Richard always lending his
pickup truck whenever anyone needed it.
In the '70s when I was a new parishioner at Queen of Peace Church,
we would collect newspapers; recycle
glass bottles; etc. We would load up his truck along with the parish truck
and hall it all away. He was always
ready to do anything for his Catholic
Faith.
He is one of the charter founders of
our North Portland Knights of Columbus
Council 5279, which began...

I had the priviledge of working with Richard Rossman at Linnton Plywood. He certainly was a very fine man. My thoughts and prayers go to the family in this time of sorrow.
