Richard Henry Neindorff

Richard Henry Neindorff, passed away peacefully on July 21, 2023 surrounded by his loving family. He was 81 years old. Son of the late Henry and Anna Neindorff, Richard was born in Bristol, PA on July 14, 1942, but soon moved to San Francisco, CA. At age 7, he moved to Saudi Arabia but came back to the states during the school year for junior & senior high school where he attended Admiral Farragut in Toms River. He attended Pitt and Temple University. Richard worked for Princeton University for 35 years as a systems programmer/analyst at Princeton Plasma Physics Lab. In 1966 he was drafted and served in Vietnam. He was an avid skeet shooter and amateur radio operator. When he retired from Princeton University, he went to work for Educational Testing Services for five years before retiring for good. He & his wife Pat joined First Presbyterian Church of Mt. Holly in 1972 where he was baptized and became an active member serving as a deacon, an elder, and summer children's church teacher. He was extremely active in many of the ministries of the church helping with Homes of Hope, the planning and building of Samuel Miller Christian Retirement Center, serving for 20+ years at the Community Luncheon Thanksgiving Dinner, and he was the chair of the Mission Committee during the inception of the Burlington Center Mall Ministry. Once the Mall Ministry was open, he taught computer classes to people who had little to no experience with computers. In 2007, Richard & Pat moved their membership to the First Presbyterian Church of Moorestown where he served as a Disciple Bible Study leader and elder. He also loved sitting in on worship team rehearsals and acting as the Statler & Waldorf of Miller Commons. Richard was greatly loved by many as was evidenced by the number of visitors he had and the number of staff members of Masonic Village who stopped by his room to chat with him and grab some chocolates from the bowl on his dresser. He is predeceased by his beloved wife of 48 years Patricia Wright Neindorff of Columbus, NJ and his parents Henry and Anna Neindorff of Port Townsend, WA. He is survived by his daughter Rebecca Neindorff of Columbus, NJ, his son Stephen Neindorff (wife Kimberly) of Burlington, NJ, his grandsons Jacob & Nicholas Neindorff, his brother-in-law Ed Thompson of Columbus, NJ, his sister-in-law Robin Rose of Rehoboth, MA, as well as numerous nieces and nephews.
