Richard was the first college graduate of his family and provided a wonderful life for his wife and three children. He traveled all over the world during his career at Reliance Electric and Rockwell Automation as an electrical engineer and delighted many with his wonderful stories about those travels. Dick was a loyal fan and season ticket holder of the Cleveland Browns for over fifty years. Dick was a dedicated, lifelong parishioner of St. Anselm Parish and devoted his life to his faith. Dick was also a proud veteran of the United States Army. Dick was finally reunited with his late beloved wife, Donna Veres nee Zielinski, (1938-2016) of almost 60 years. He is the wonderful father of Jennifer (George) Del Pozzo, Christopher Veres and Melissa (William) Mann and the late baby Ann and baby Mary; loving grandfather of Sophia Mann, Mose Del Pozzo and Niko Del Pozzo; best friend and brother of Robert Veres; and dear son of the late Ethel and Paul Veres.
