Mr. Nixdorf, you were a huge presence in my life. Growing up in St. Peter’s community family is one of the memories of my younger life. Gathering after church for coffee and talk is a fond memory. My fondest memory of you was whenever you attended an event for another, you’d take their hand and say, “Thank you for coming to my....”. It made me laugh. You were one of the nice men I’ve met. Now God has another angel; you.

Back in the 80’s, my new best friend from college, Mike , invited me for the weekend to stay at his house. Peggy and “Big Rich” as I called him, were so welcoming, and made me feel so comfortable for those stays. Each trip, Big Rich was more endearing than the last. It’s no wonder two of my best friends in life were crafted by such a great man, and a special mom in Peggy. My sincere condolences to the family...

My deepest condolences to the entire family. My prays and thoughts are with you all.
I will share a fond memory. I was the benefactor as a young man, of Uncle Richie providing me protection from the wrath of my Mother.
My behavior at several family celebrations did not her meet expectations. I appreciated his support then and still do today.
Uncle Richie was a good man. Rest in Peace

Richie “The Mayor” will be greatly missed. He was such a loving, gentle man with such a great sense of humor.We watched him touch so many couples and show them what a good husband and family man looks like. We are certainly richer for having known him, Rest In Peace Richie.

So sorry to learn of Uncle Richie's passing. We hold many memories of happy times we spent at family gatherings. His wonderful sense of humor will be sorely missed, I'm sure he was welcomed with open arms by all of his siblings who went before him. Likewise may he watch over all of you as you negotiate the path of grief. Praying for all of you and sending love and hugs.
