RICHARD DENNIS
TSCHIRHART, 77,
of Oak Park, died
on Dec. 26, 2023.
He was born
Dec. 17, 1946, in
Detroit and was the youngest
of five children born to Helen
and Allen Tschirhart. Richard
graduated from Wayne State
University in Detroit and
worked for most of his career as
a chemist at the city of Detroit
Water & Sewerage Department.
With his former wife and
friend, Esther Ingber, Richard
was the proud and involved
father of daughters Alison and
Julianna Tschirhart. He was
blessed with a wide circle of
caring and fun friends, includ-
ing those he met at WSU, an
informal group dubbed “The
Ledge.”
Richard loved the outdoors,
geography, languages, genealo-
gy and music. He had traveled
to 49 states, many of them
while hitchhiking in the ’60s
and ’70s or on road trips with
his family. He was a formidable
Trivial Pursuit player. His curi-
osity, intelligence and generosi-
ty of spirit will be missed by all
who knew him.
Richard was preceded in
death by his parents; his sib-
lings, the late Tom (the late
Dorothy) Tschirhart, the late
Lois (the late George) Catlin
