Richard Goles Obituary

Richard Joseph Goles, 78, of Suffolk, Va, passed away on Friday, January 3, 2025. He was the son of the late John Goles, Sr and Lillian Eugenia Reid Goles. He was also preceded in death by his wife Sherilyn Lee Nadolny Goles. He is survived by his daughter, Stacey Lynn Caterbone (Joshua Michael); grandchildren, Parker and Aiden; a sister, Shirley Snyder (John); and a brother, Eugene Goles (Shirley).

Dad enjoyed camping, fishing, hunting and spending time outdoors. The memories of these activities will be held close to many hearts. After a lengthy illness, dad is finally at peace and reunited with the love of his life. Our family now has two guardian angels protecting us and providing us with the comfort we need to move on from this loss. There will be no service at this time.
