A man of remarkable intellect, Richard pursued higher education with great passion, earning his master’s degree from the University of Xavier. His career was as varied as it was impactful. As a young man, he served with dedication as the staff psychologist at the Ohio Valley Goodwill Industries Rehabilitation Center, touching lives and offering support where it was most needed. Later, he moved into Corporate America, where he excelled as the Director of Human Resources, guiding and nurturing the careers of countless individuals. Never one to truly retire, Richard brought his expertise to the IRS after stepping away from corporate life, continuing to serve with commitment and precision.

Beyond his professional achievements, Richard was a man of many passions. He found joy in hiking through nature’s quiet beauty, in the rhythms and melodies of music, and photography. Whether attending concerts at the zoo or immersing himself in the grandeur of the opera, his appreciation for culture was profound. He was an active member of the Civil War Round Table, when he lived in Northern, Ohio, and became involved in the greater Milford Area Historical Society, once he moved back home. He was also active in St. Vincent DePaul Society and active member of the Cathedral Basilica of the Assumption in Covington, KY . He enjoyed golfing and was an avid reader. He also cherished the peaceful moments at home, where he found comfort and contentment.

Richard is survived by the love of his life, his wife Luanne (Hucle) Nordloh, to whom he was married for 45 years—a bond filled with enduring love and mutual respect. He is also lovingly remembered by his siblings, Joyce Beller and Carol Wallace, as well as numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins, carry forward his memory and the stories of a man who gave so much to those around him. We can't forget Cesar the dog, who was beside him when he passed.
