Richard J. "Dick" MIDDENDORF

Such a wonderful teacher and a good man. May he rest in peace.

Thoughts and prayers from
Dave Mazzella (91) and family

Dick was an amazing man that touched my heart with his kindness and dedication. He was full of life and always had a positive attitude about things. I think about him often and I thank God that he brought such an amazing person in my life. He is now reunited with his beautiful wife Rita and their memory will live on through all that he touched with his kind words and wonderful laugh!

Dick Middendorf was a wonderful teacher who had great passion for his subject - Chemistry - and for teaching his students. He made a tremendous difference in so many students' lives. His memory lives on through them. It was a privilege to have him as a teacher.

Dick was so active in so many social justice movements - and never afraid to speak out. His compassion was obviously routed in his faith. I admired him all the more when he continued these activities even as age and health problems took their toll on him. My sympathies to his children and all his family.

I was just thinking about him the other day. It was Monday at St. Ignatius's 7:00 am Mass. A thought came to me that he had passed but I thought it probably happened awhile ago. Very surprised to hear it was just last Sunday. I used to see Dick at the 7:00 am Mass at St. Ignatius. He is a very nice man, may his reward be great!

My sincerest condolences to the whole family. He was a great man.
