Scott and I have so many memories of Ken. He made Scott and I feel welcome as soon as we moved to Dover and became members of St. John's so many years ago. He was so much fun to be around and I personally will remember singing with him in choir and playing in bell choir with him. Ken's love for the BSITU was so great and I am so thankful for all the years he fought for St. John's Lutheran School. I am sure he will be greatly missed down hear but I am sure he has been welcomed into heaven with open arms and God has already put this willing and faithful servant to work! God's blessings to the Richter family and know you are in our prayers. Love, Scott, Melissa, Benjamin, Lauren and Caroline Rutledge
Ken was one of the first people I met at St.John’s when we moved to Delaware. He was always so helpful and smiled whenever he talked to me. He sang in the choir with my husband,Doyle. He will be missed greatly by so many people. My remembrances of our years in Delaware will always include Ken. Such a shining star at church.
Thoughts and Prayers for the Richter Family. Cherish your memories!
Kenneth & Laura Richter, precious people of God!
As mentioned in Ken’s Obituary he was VERY involved in St. John’s Lutheran Church.
When I met him there in 2005 at a luncheon to help me make a decision about whether or not to move to Delaware to teach; I do not know if he was President of the Church Council or President of The School Board. Either position it was evident he was in charge of this event. By quoting (unbeknownst to him) my favorite Bible verse I decided yes; I was coming to teach at St. John’s Lutheran School and be a member at the church; and sing in the choir with Ken and others! This Bible verse truly emulates how Kenneth Richter lived his life! “He has told you, O man (woman and child), what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.” (Micah 6:8) You have gone on to glory Kenneth Richter! Thank you for being part of our lives!
