Richard Nixon Obituary
Richard Scott Nixon, 67, passed away unexpectedly Thursday October 6, 2022.
He is survived by Tami, his loving wife of over 30 years, his quirky son Scott, and anxiety-ridden dog, Sparky. He'll be missed by his 5 siblings, Barbara (Chris) Rice, John (Debbie) Nixon , Joann (Phil) Bertemes, Ken (Mary) Nixon, Jim (Linda) Nixon and many nieces, nephews and friends. He was preceded in death by his father Lawrence and mother Elsie.
Richard was a fantastic husband and father. The type of guy who went out of his way to help a friend in need. Recently retired from Cleveland Clinic, Richard "the fix-it man" was a lover of fine bourbon, cigars and Cleveland sports. He enjoyed traveling, going to sporting events with Scott and spending time with family and friends. He always had the best one-liners and could make anyone smile.
Friends and family may call at Hummel Funeral Home, 3475 Copley Rd. Copley, Ohio on Monday, October 10, 2022 from 4 to 8 pm. Mass of Burial will be on Tuesday, October 11 at 10 am at Guardian Angels Catholic Church, 1676 S. Cleveland Massillon Rd. Copley, Ohio. Private interment at a future date.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to One of a Kind Pet Rescue.
