Record added: Jul 28, 2007 Find A Grave Memorial# 20678047 [S927] Obituary. Richard L. Riemenschneider, 93 COLUMBUS - Richard L. Riemenschneider, 93, passed away Saturday, Aug. 5, 2006, at Whetstone Gardens in Columbus. He was born Oct. 25, 1912, in Bethesda, to the late Dora White and Samuel H. Riemenschneider.He graduated from Woodsfield High School, class of 1931, and attended engineering school in Indiana.In 1935, he married Evelyn Young, and in 1942 they moved to Zanesville, where he accepted a position with the USDA Soil Conservation Service, Muskingum County. His soil conservation work with ponds, tile drainage, diversions, tree planting, contour strips and waterways made him well-known to farmers throughout the county.He lived in Zanesville for 60 years, was a 65-year member of the Masonic Lodge and his favorite hobbies were golf and making miniature furniture from metal cans.His wife died in 1997 and, in 2001, he moved to Columbus to be near his niece, Lois Chamberlain. ADVERTISEMENT Richard Riemenschneider had an enthusiasm for life that touched all who knew him.He always found the best side of everyone in his world.To members of his family his natural talents and insatiable curiosity were legendary.This innate ability and self-confidence led him to excel in positions normally reserved for persons with far more extensive formal preparation.His curiosity about the world and how it worked led him and Evelyn to use their vacation time to explore every state in the union and travel throughout the world.His profound philosophy of life led him, as a young man, to be baptized into Christ at the Bush Church of Christ in Monroe County and to live a life of deep consideration for others.His last days were occupied with finishing pieces of his miniature furniture in order to fulfill his promise to people who had admired this hobby.He lived life fully with deep appreciation of what he had been given.In March of this year he learned that he had cancer. His determined will and upbeat personality carried him through weeks of chemotherapy and radiation treatments with the hope for a few more years; but when he learned that these treatments had not been successful, he essentially said goodbye to those around him and died peacefully in his sleep a few days later. He is survived by nieces and nephews, Lois Chamberlain, Joan Shepherd, Richard and Gary Baker, Beverly Betz, Jack King, Shirley Jackson, Paul Young, Judith Young, Robert Young and Janet Sue Matinka; and many great-great, and great-great-great nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his loving wife of 63 years; and four sisters; Bernice Moore, Kathryn Baker, Inza Jackson, and Anna Lee Jackson. At Richard's request, there will be a private family graveside service at a later date.Inurnment will be in the Miltonsburg Cemetery.
