Richard DeLeo Obituary
Richard was born in Lyons, N.Y. to Gloria and Frank DeLeo.
He graduated from Clyde-Savannah High School in 1974 and went on to receive an Associates Degree in Electronics from Cayuga Community College. He retired after 30 years of employment at the former Creative Electric. He spent his life providing for the love of his life, Penny (Shufelt) DeLeo and his two children, Amy (Bellamy) and Christopher. He spent many hours playing baseball with his son, including coaching Boys and Girls Baseball for several years. He and his daughter, Amy, played in a band together for several years. He had a lifelong love of music, and played in a band almost his entire life. He loved getting together with his friends to play music and catch up on the latest news in everyone's lives. "Clydetown" always held a special place in his heart. In his short time here on earth, Richard, also known by many as Dick, Richie and Dickie, provided his friends and family with many memories that will help make the sting of his passing a little less painful.
He is survived by his high school sweetheart and mother of his children, Penny; his older brother, Joseph DeLeo (Karen); his children, Amy (Steve Bellamy) and Christopher; his beloved grandchildren, Alexandra DeLeo, Tucker and Noah Bellamy, as well as his granddaughter on the way, Hannah Bellamy.
There will be no calling hours, a private service and burial will be at the discretion of the family.

Penny Joe & family, I was shocked to read this and remember all the great times growing up with all of you. Dick playing in the band in the garage, chasing leaves while we all were trying to get him to focus playing football. God Bless and rest in peace Dick.
