Richard B. Love 1931-2025

He was born June 2, 1931, in Denver, Colorado, the son of the late Eugene C. and Stella B. Norton Love.

After graduating from Boulder High School and attending the University of Colorado, he enlisted in the United States Navy, serving his country for three years.

Richard retired from Mahoning County Engineers.

His favorite pastimes included walking his dog Murphy, spending time on his front porch and cheering on his favorite teams, which included the Denver Broncos, Pittsburgh Steelers and the Colorado Buffalos, but most of all reminiscing about his favorite place, Boulder, Colorado.

A devoted Catholic, Richard was a member of both St. Dominic Church and St. Charles Church.

He leaves to cherish his memory, his wife, the former Judith A. Barrett, whom he married Aug. 17, 1963; daughters, Cindy Love-Lamb (Doug Lamb) and Jennifer Love-Enright; grandchildren, Brendan Lamb, Maura Lamb, Katie Enright, Courtney Enright and Colin Enright; nephews, Richard Love and David Love; and niece, Laura Ann Love-Hopkins.

Richard was preceded in death by his daughter, Sharon Love; son-in-law, Joel Enright; and brother, Eugene R. Love.

Family and friends may call 9 to 9:50 Friday, Oct. 3, 2025, at St. Dominic Church, followed by a Mass of Christian Burial at 10 a.m., celebrated by the Rev. Frassati Davis, O.P.

Private Interment will be in Calvary Cemetery.

Richard’s family wishes to thank Buckeye Hospice, especially his nurse, Diane; his personal caregivers, Cheryl, Lexi, Theresa, Tami and Becky; and the staff at Care Builders for their care and compassion.
