Richard Loveless Obituary
Richard "Dick" Loveless
April 24, 1951-Nov. 13, 2021
PORT BYRON - Richard "Dick" Loveless passed away Saturday November 13, 2021 in his home while surrounded by his loved ones.
Born in Syracuse NY on April 24, 1951 to his beloved parents Harley and Evelyn Loveless, Dick spent his childhood working on his grandparents farm, flying kites and being spoiled as the baby of the family.
After graduating high school, Dick went on to study the electrical trade which he grew to love, spending 31 years of service as a skilled trades electrician at New Process Gear until his retirement in June 2002. He carried this skill set and knowledge with him until the day he passed.
Throughout his adulthood, Dick spent much of his time becoming an avid bowler, for which he obtained a perfect game. Following in his father's footsteps, he perfected the game of cribbage. He also worked to become a competitive horseshoe player, with his best partner and wife, Sandy. Dick had a fond love of all things western, the art of flying, and watching his children grow up to play sports, participate in dance recitals and other hobbies.
Dick loved family dinners and all things food. He was an all-American man, who was a very proud Ranger Dad, enjoyed the "golden age of music" between the 50s & 60s and loved spending time with his friends at his favorite stops.
Dick is survived by his loving wife, Sandra (Shaffer) Loveless; his son Thomas (Mary) Loveless; daughters: Jennifer and Nikki (CJ) Loveless; his twin brother Raymond (Patti) Loveless; brother-in-law Wilfred (Linda) Bushnoe; his grandchildren: Evelyn, Ben and Matt; as well as many cousins; nieces and nephews. Dick is predeceased by his parents, Harley and Evelyn, his sister Linda Bushnoe and brothers Robert and Ronald Loveless.
Incredibly dedicated to his loving family and friends, Dick was one of a kind and will be deeply missed. Forever in our hearts, we love you always.
Calling hours are being held Friday, November 19, 2021 from 2:00-6:00 PM at Audioun Funeral Home, LLC, 218 Main St., Port Byron. Funeral Services will be held at the convenience of the family.
A Celebration of Life is being planned for Saturday, November 20, 2021 at 2:00 PM at the Port Byron Legion.

To Sandy and Dick's extended family:
My first impression of Dick was that you could just tell by looking at him how much he was in love with Sandy. He had that loving way he looked at her when she wasn't watching, and in response to that love Sandy just seemed to blossom from the childhood friend we were to the woman she is today. I know he will be missed by her, especially, and by his children, family and everyone who knew him.
My love to you and may God favor you with his blessings.

Sad news hearing about Dick's passing. I bowled against him for years at Starlite Lanes on Monday night. Our teams had so much fun competing against each other. I also bowled in a doubles tournament with him. Years later in Weedsport I ran out of gas and was walking down the highway & he stopped next to me & offered to give me a ride to gas station & back before he realized it was me. That's the kind of person he was, willing to help a stranger. My thoughts are with his family during this most difficult time. RIP my friend & GOD bless you.

I'm so sorry for your loss.. I remember many times spending the night with Jenny and the yummy breakfasts her dad used to make. He always had a smile on his face. He was an awesome dad, the love for his girls and wife was undeniable even at a young age. I think about those memories often, it was always a great time at the Loveless home My love, thoughts and prayers go out to you all.
