Stacy, Alex, and Jackson,
Words cannot describe how I want to help you. Rick was a big part of my life in high school. He was funny, smart,ornery, fun, and a very good friend. I will miss his voice and sense of humor. He was very lucky to have all of you in his life. He loved you very much. Keep the memories in your heart until we all see him in Heaven again. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this time and in the future. Please call me if you need someone to listen. I am here for all of you.
Our deepest sympathy,
Christie, Marcus and Megan Tofflemire

I'm so very sorry for this loss. Rick was one of those people that made work fun - great water cooler conversationalist! A quiet and dangerous wit. Sorry just doesn't cover this feeling.
Let us know if you need help! We are always here.

Stacy, Alex, and Jackson,
I am so sorry to hear about your loss, and my sympathies go out to you and your entire family. Rick was a very special person, and some of my fondest memories of Rick are from working with him at CSG. Not only was he the most knowledgeable and experienced person I have know, but sitting with him in Jill's office cracking each other up over the day's frustrations always made the day. I looked forward to seeing him every day; and he taught everyone so much. Rick will be sincerely missed...I will never forget him. You, your family, and Rick will always be in my prayers.

Dear Stacy, Alex, and Jackson,
I want to express my deepest sympathies to you and your entire family in this difficult time. I had the pleasure of working with Rick and getting to know him when we worked together at CSG. Though Rick was a private and somewhat quiet person at work, his love for all of you was very clear to me. It was those conversations, where he talked about all of you, that I will remember the most because that is when I saw that smile and sparkle in his eyes. I also was amazed every day at his depth of knowledge, and I learned so much from him. I appreciated knowing him and know he will be missed by so many. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
