Richard Leopold Naujoks

'Bye Dad. You lived a life of service and duty. You taught us about responsibility and to work to the best of our ability. You had the gift to talk to anyone, young or old, and make them very comfortable and welcome. I always enjoyed your curiosity, too. We could go to a museum or nature preserve and it was magic to share the wonders we discovered with each other. I loved seeing the world through your eyes. 'Bye Dad, see you later.

My sincerest condolences to the Naujoks family .
Sherry, I haven't laid eyes on you for close to twenty
Years and I'm sorry that it takes this sad event to make it so.
Regards to Richard who probably doesn't remember me

Richard will always be the PERFECT man for your family..Kind, gentle,noble,strong, and yes..super smart. Richard had the gift of being able to warm up to anyone and make them feel as if they knew one another forever, His discussions about the old diesel submarines were amazing. He was truly a walking history book..an amazing brilliant man..we were all blessed to have known and loved him..May God bless Estelle and the entire family with His love and peace.

May his loving wife and family be comforted by God, family and friends during this time. The joy he shared with you all brought him happiness till the end of his time. God graciously shared him with us. To God be the Glory and he shall dwell in the house of the Lord for eternity. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

May Mr. Naujoks remain in a peaceful rest while waiting for Our Heavenly Father to call him home. His spirit shall shine on in us through our memories.
