Richard Nichols Obituary
Richard "Rick" John Nichols, 71, passed away on November 4, 2025, in Georgia.
Born October 24, 1954, in Dayton, Ohio, to Elma Nichols, Rick grew up with a generous heart and adventurous spirit.
In 1977, he married the girl next door, Linda Ann Turner, and together they raised their sons, Ryan and Todd, in Bellbrook, Ohio.
A devoted, hands-on father, Rick filled their lives with Boy Scouts, travel, camping, and everyday laughter.
He supported his family through a 32-year UPS career and loved music, football, good stories, and the Buckeyes and Browns.
After Linda's passing in 2011, he married Lori Wulf in 2013.
Rick was immensely proud of his sons, their families, and his grandchildren-Ida, Hazel, and Turner. He is deeply missed by all who loved him.

My heart is sad. Last time we saw Rick was at Home Depot a couple years ago. He was a wonderful person, and I will always be thankful for his mentorship of my boys when they were in Scouts. My deepest condolences to all the family. May his memory always be a blessing!

If this is the same Rick Nichols from the Dayton area of Ohio, we worked together with Boy Scouts helping scouts earn their merit badges in Woodcarving. If this is him, we had so much enjoyment working with young boys and enhancing their growth in scouting. Can you email me and confirm that he was from Ohio years ago?
