Rick,

I am sorry to hear about the passing of your father. Losing a parent is incredibly difficult, and I want you to know that my thoughts are with you and your family during this tough time.

Your father clearly raised a great son - you're a kind and dependable friend & coworker, and I know those qualities come from somewhere!
