Richard L. Nipp was born May 8, 1943, the fifth child of John and Mary Nipp. After attending Loyalton Grade School, he attended and graduated from Roscoe High School in 1961.

After working for several local farmers most of his life, he started working for Common Sense Manufacturing where he was employed for 8 years until health issues forced him to retire.
He was a long time member of the local IOOF chapter where he served multiple terms as Noble Grand. He enjoyed rolling dice with his friends as well as playing cards at the Autumn Leaves Senior Center. He was a member of various bowling teams over the years where both he and Darlene looked forward to the state bowling tournaments. In more recent years he became a member of Lakeside Country Club where he had taken up, and thoroughly enjoyed, the Gentlemen’s sport of Golf.
All during his health issues he always had an upbeat and positive outlook at life and the future. He was a man of compassion and courage and he will be greatly missed.
