Richard A. 'Dick' Hoefs

To Dick's family, We are sorry for your loss. Dick became a good friend through our work with Opportunity. I admire the example he set by fully giving of himself for a very worthy cause. His efforts in the U.S. and Philippines will have a permanent impact enriching the lives of many families. God Bless, Mark Zorko

Dick will be greatly missed by the Foundation. He was always willing to speak up and had a passion for the work that was clearly evident. He was not afraid to speak boldly when he felt maybe we were not going the way God wanted us to go or that we lacked passion for our mission. He always seemed interested in how God was working in the lives of others and in other organizations that were trying to be faithful to the Lord's calling on them. In a time of turmoil we will miss Dick's voice of challenge and encouragement. May God continue to give you peace as you grieve this wonderful servant of our Lord. Sam and Jeanette Douglass

Family of Dick, I had a great friendship with Dick and he was a great mentor to our group of Trustees and myself. I recently served as chairman and he was very supportive and giving me good guidance. I will miss our talks and I will miss him keeping the group on task and reminding us of the Lord's will and our purpose. This world is a better place because of Richard Hoefs. God's Blessing to you all.
