R I P Mr. Birchmier. It was a honor to have assisted you the last few months of your life here on earth and now you have your wings and dancing with your wife. I was so scared the first day I met you as I had never given a tour...you so strong asked for that day cause all the kids were with you to help you make the decision and your kindness shown throughout. Family have my heartfelt condolences to each and everyone of you I send my hugs and love. Thank you for letting me be a part of your journey.

I worked with Dick as a fellow engineer with NRCS. I was the young guy on the block, but Dick was more than willing to help and share experience to bring me along. Now I am the one with 35 years of experience trying to help the younger guys. Dick will be remembered fondly by all of us in the NRCS family. May God's Peace help his family during this difficult time. Posted by Jeff Godwin - Atlantic, IA - Coworker May 23, 2016

So sorry to hear of the passing of Dick..he and Marti have been friends and co-workers for manykh years..like over 35!..John and Dick were in the Shenandoah SCS office until Dick was transfered to Centerville but we still did a lot of visiting. Our son, Jerry and family moved to Centerville when Dick requested Jerry to come and work as his teck. Then all of a suddened it was time to retirer and we visited back and forth a lot since we all ended up retireing and spending the winters in Florida. We moved to Florida full time and were happy when Susie and Dick could come and visit us. We have so manyk wonderful memories. Posted by Lorraine and John Mall - Ft.Myers, FL - Friend May 24, 2016
Dick liked to walk the track at Howar school. This is where I met him. He was a regular walker at the track and used to bring his wife along to walk. Very nice man, soft spoken, friendly, and gentleman would be the word to describe Dick.Condolences go out to the family.Tony Shriver Posted by Tony Sshriver - Centerville, IA - Friend May 24, 2016
We were blessed to have Richard with us for a while at Golden Age Care Center. We appreciated having him here and residents and staff was able to share a small part of his life with him. Rest in peace our friend. Posted by Dalene Hamilton - Albia, IA - Acquaintance May 25, 2016
