To the Gallivan Family,
My father-in-law, Paul Offermann, sent me Rick's obituary last week. We are all saddened by Rick's passing. He was one of my first boss's at the memorable Wurst Place and I learned much from his counsel and business savvy. He was always good for a great story and sound advice. I'll never forget our emergency runs on snowmobiles for beer and booze during the Blizzard of '77. Shortly thereafter I headed south to law school and a career in the law and business. To this day I vividly remember his welcoming salutation: "Hey Tommy, how are things at the bar today?"
I am most confident he is nestled up to a celestial bar quaffing a heavenly brew with a gleam in his eyes and a smile for one and all. You'll be sorely missed Rick. Thanks for the opportunities you provided me.
Sincerely, Tom Bannigan

Dear Gallivan family,
We will miss Richard at the WNY Artificial Kidney Center. Now it just seems like he is in Florida and we await his return to the weekends in Canada! We all felt a special fondness for Richard. What a gentle man he was. He often expressed his love of his wife, children and grandchildren. He was so proud of you all. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
