One month later, On Nov. 14, 1920, he was made a child of God through Holy Baptism at Immanuel Lutheran Church, where he was confirmed in 1935 and remained a lifetime member. Richard was released from the struggles that his tired body gave him on Jan. 23, 2005, into the waiting care of his savior, Jesus. He trusted in the promise of a house with many rooms that Jesus promised to him and knew and trusted in that promise his entire life without wavering. He attended rural school District 88 near his home for eight years. He was always involved in helping his family on the farm, which he continued after graduation from school for several years. During WW II, Richard enlisted in the Coast Guard and served in the Pacific Theater in numerous campaigns. While serving as a motor machinist made on the ship LST 20, he felt the need for spiritual leadership due to the life or death situations that faced the crew, and since no chaplains were available, he took the initiative to lead worship services for his crew mates. Upon his discharge in 1946, he attended Wartburg College for a time, but the call of being near God’s land was strong and he returned to farm on his own. On June 6, 1949, he was united in marriage to Margaret Nadobny. They bought their own farm soon after and began a lifelong love of service by farming. Richard was instrumental in establishing the Sheridan County Farm Bureau. He supported it by serving on the local board and various state positions throughout his life. He also served his commitment to future generations by serving as school board member of District #35 for years. His church was always at the center of his concern, which he served faithfully by attending always and serving on the council and helping out whenever needed. In his quest for better ways, he was one of the first in the area to try new ideas; such as irrigation, in his farming practices, while always making do with what he had. His examples of faith, love and honest work have been learned well and appreciated by his family. Surviving family include: Wife, Margaret; Ron and wife, Marie of Rushville; Daryl of Rushville; Wayne and wife Penny of Hay Springs; John and wife Judie of Denver; Trudy Harris and husband Scott of Kansas; Joe of Gordon. 19 grandchildren and 2 great-grandchildren also survive him. Brothers: Clarence, Ralph and Elmer Dreyer. Preceding Richard in death were his parents, Carl and Emma Dreyer; brother Harold, brother-in-law, Bill Nadobny; sister-in-law, Delores Dreyer; infant daughter, Irene; daughter, Eileen Riggs; son-in-law, Butch Riggs, and grandson Michael Dreyer. He was laid to rest at Fairview Cemetery, Rushville, next to daughter Eileen and son-in-law Butch Riggs.
