'I found out that Rick had passed away when my department at CPSE was merged with his (IT), and I looked to see where Rick had gotten to. I was very sorry to hear about his passing. It's hard to express what a great guy Rick was. And he was always able to keep the important things in life in mind.'

'I was actually a cousin (2nd or 3rd) of Rick's. I have many memories of the Poe family. I am deeply sorry that I have "away" for many years. But those memories are etched in my heart. My deepest sympathy to all of you'

Rick will always be a Knight'

'I first met Rick in 1967 around Halloween when I was 7. He, Mitch and the Poe family moved onto our street in Oak Cliff, Dallas. We spent our elementary school, junior high and high school days together. I grew up with Rick Poe and he was like a brother to me. Rick was lucky. Not that life always went his way, but when things didn't go his way, he took it in good stride, didn't lose his composure but remained impassive, hence his light-hearted sense of humor. To my mind, these are signs of an old soul. I always thought that Rick would live to an old age and once having surmounted the challenges of active lifeparenting, career, etc.would persevere to become a serene, wise old grandfather. But it wasn't meant to be. We can only trust that things are as they should be, sad as it is for those of us he left behind. Let us keep Tammy, Betty and the kids in our hearts and minds during this time of mourning.'

'Tammy, 
I am so, so sorry for you and your family. I always think of you and Rick when Beth and I drive thru the hills around the Frio...imagining you in a great cabin...filled with cool furniture and lots of laughter. Wishing you peace and all that you need.

'I had the honor of working with Rick at the Bexar Appraisal District. Sorry to hear of this.'

'Rick was a good friend and mentor. I loved riding Harley's with him. I loved working with him. I loved to just talk tech with him. He lived life to it's fullest, and I am just crushed to hear that he is gone. Being a Mensa; he was without a doubt one of the smartest guys that I have ever known. Tammy, Mallory, Wade, and Vicki... I am so sorry for your loss.'

'Our deepest condolences to you, Tammy, Wade, and Mallory. Rick was such a wonderful man--and he was so special. Trevor thought so highly of him and he enjoyed spending time with Rick through the years. Our prayers are with you.'

'I'm sorry that I was out of town. My sincerest thoughts and prayers for the family. I first got to know Rick when given a project here at BCAD we got to go to the field and test out our new field laptops. I had so much fun with him we laughed the whole time. He made that boring experience a joy. It was really nice working with Rick and we both enjoyed driving our 4-wheel drive jeeps. Gonna miss you buddy.'

'I'm very fortunate to have known Rick for the short time that he was at CPs Energy. His humor and positive outlook on life will always stay with me.'

'So sorry and shocked to hear about Rick. I worked with him at Tesoro. There was just no way you could work with Rick or know him and not be friends. He always seemed to have a smile and a great outlook on life. My thoughts and prayers to all of his family and friends.'

'I knew Rick for a very short time when we worked together. He always impressed me with his honesty and humor. My deepest condolences.'

'Tammy, Wade and Mallory, our deepest sympathy to you all. Rick was just a great friend that was always there for everyone. Some of the craziest memories are the times I spent with Rick at the places we worked together and other times we spent together. We seemed to follow each other from job to job. Everytime we saw each other I gave him grief about his GMC pickup and he gave me grief about my Ford, arguing about which one was better, but we always ended up laughing about it. Rick would always make it point to talk about what was going on in yalls lives. I know you all made him so proud and he loved you all very much.'

'Rick was a good man, and dad - Wade and Mallory are wonderful examples of his and Tammy's love and care. We are glad to have had Rick in our lives, especially for our son Tyler.'

'Tammy and Family- 
Please accept my most heartfelt sympathies for your lossmy thoughts are with you and your family during this difficult time.

'I am so sorry to hear about the loss of Rick. I worked with him at Tesoro and am so sorry that I did not find out in time to pay my respects. He was a delight to know. My deepest sympathy to the family. He was so proud of Tammy, Wade and Mallory. My prayer is that God grants you comfort and peace during this time.'

'I was asked to enter the following ladies to the guestbook: suzanne Oliver, Ricca McLain, Mary ellen Gentry,Evelyn Upshaw, Maggie McWilliams, Bobbie & Jim Hale, Elaine Lloyd, Margaret Turner and Foxie White'

'Dearest Tammy, I was so sorry to hear the sad news of Rick's sudden passing. I can not image what you are going through, but I hold you and your family in my thoughts and prayers...Syd'

'Rick always had a smile on his face and made you feel welcome. We enjoyed many days duck hunting and many nights toasting our day in the field.'

'My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.'

'Tammy, We are so deeply saddened to hear of the untimely passing of Rick and can only imagine how you and your family are coping with this sudden and tragic loss. Our prayers will be for God to grant you some peace and comfort, through Him, in the days ahead. 
Sincerely, Laura and Keith Day'

'My deepest sympathies go out to the Poe family. I have great memories of Rick and the family as I have grown up. His life here with us was way too short. He will greatly missed by all but always remembered.'

'Tammy, 
I am so sorry for your loss. God be with you and the children this evening as you pay tribute to Rick and lay him to rest. My prayers and thoughts are with you all. Sean and Lisa Cronan send their condolences as well. We will be making a donation in Rick's memory to Haven for Hope..'

'Tammy, 
I am truly sorry to hear of your loss and pray for you and your family.

'It just seem like yesterday that Rick and I worked togather at Joe Jones Exxon. Rick's personality and energy always made things better. 
God Bless!'

'I met Rick in 7th grade music class and quickly became friends and brothers, we shared many of life's first's together. He never met a stranger and was always there for you if you needed him which was quite a few times for me. He was the big brother that I never had and I will always carry the fond memories and love for him until the end of my days, until one day when I see him again.

'I first met Rick and Tammy in 1994 when I began woring with Tammy. Rick seemed wise beyond his years and always had an interesting point of view on everything. I admired his spirit, tenacity, sense of humor and his truly generous spirit! My life was enriched in knowing Rick and he will always live in our hearts.'
