Richard STELMASZYK Obituary
Suddenly passed, just a month shy of his 70th birthday, on Saturday January 7th, 2023. Ricky known to close family and friends left peacefully at the 19th hole. A great void will be felt by his step-father, Wally Kendziora. Rick was predeceased by his mother, Julia (Trzepkowski). He also leaves behind a half- sister, Sandy (Tim) Kistka and niece, Devlynn (Cody). A lifetime of shenanigans was had with Ron Pilarski and so many others. For 27 years, Rick was the DEVOTED love of Lydia Ciminelli and "step-dude" to Natalie (Ryan) Hill and Stefanie (Jason) Pagano. "Dude" will be especially missed by Gabriella (Gabster), Elliott (Little Pauly Newman) and "his little friend", Gianna. Raise a glass of Southern Comfort in his memory. Arrangements by Barron-Miler Funeral Home Inc.

Rick, I still remember all the good times we had and there are too many to just pick out one. I still remember DD, Tucker, you and me taking your Orange VW and parking in on the center court line of a basketball court on the Eastside and played BB while we waited for our pizza at Bocce´s to be made. We all got along so good. Love you alway

Rick we had so many good times together playing ball and just hanging out with each other for so many years. You may have passed on but I will always remember the good times we had and I always think of you.
