Donation protected
In memory of Our Beloved Father, Richard Nimey, we would like to continue his love for his church by raising funds to help renovate St. George making it fully handicap accessible. Richard was wheelchair bound for many years.
Mr. Richard George Nimey, age 72, passed away at his home, surrounded by those he loved, on Saturday, November 16, 2019.
He was born in Utica, NY on April 28, 1947, to the late Joseph and Isabelle (Haddad) Nimey whom he loved and respected. He graduated from Whitesboro Senior High School, Class of 1965. After graduation, Richard began his lifelong passion in the automotive industry. He proudly founded and operated Rich Nimey's Sales and Service on the corner of Culver Ave.and Bleecker St., in East Utica. In 1979, he married his earthly angel Cynthia Schreck; together they shared forty amazing years filled with unprecedented love and devotion to each other. They were blessed with three wonderful, caring and compassionate sons.
People admired Richard for his friendly and personable manner becoming his friends for life. They made his ever growing prayer list longer and longer. He will always be remembered as a man with tremendous love for his family, who always led by example. A man among men, a rock, a beacon of strength. He directly fought any ailment in his path through the power of his will to live, faith in God, and his love for the people around him. He will always be remembered for his powerful and humble spirit.
