He also enjoyed the fish pond in his yard. Ivor was a former Pioneer leader at St. John's Church; he played a lot of basketball and softball in his younger days; and was a huge St. Louis Cardinal fan.

Survivors include his four children: Larry Richmond of Manitowoc, Renee and Kent Messman, Tracy and Chris Rusch, and Daniel Richmond, all of Two Rivers; eight grandchildren: Robin Richmond, Tanya Richmond, Stephanie (Josh) Willis, Zac (Heather) Stanull, Dylan Rusch, Dayne Rusch, Josh Richmond, and Logan Richmond; two great grandchildren, Harper Stanull and Andrew Willis. He is further survived by his brothers and sisters: Joyce Fogeltanz and Dennis Richmond, both of Two Rivers, Jan (Jane) Richmond, Sheboygan, Darrell (Barbara) Richmond, Michigan, Gail (Larry) DuVall, Washington; along with numerous nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends. In addition to his parents and his wife, Mae, he was also preceded in death by one son, Dale "Shorty" Richmond; father-in-law and mother-in-law, Elmer and Lily Arneman; four brothers, Lyle, Merle, Glen, and Keith; three brother-in-laws, Harry Arneman, Alan Arneman, and LeRoy Fogeltanz; and two sister-in-laws, Caroline and Judy Richmond.

Funeral services for Ivor will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, August 24, 2013 at the Deja & Martin Funeral Chapels, 1506 - 18th St., Two Rivers. Rev.
