My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort. I have many memories of Dick, some of us when we sang in the choir together many years ago, I loved to hear him sing the Easter songs, he was always an inspiration to me. I am so sorry I did not attend the service as I was out of town and was not aware until my return this week. He will be missed by many.

To the Hoffman family,
Your loss of this fine gentleman is being felt by many that had the pleasure to know Dick. He was a joy to work with and will always be a part of Same Day. He was a true example of how a man should carry himself and I am grateful to have known him. Our prayers are with you.
