Not sure what to say?

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.

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.

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...
