RICHARD INESSO Obituary
RICHARD XAVIER
Age 86 years young, took his final flight on Wednesday, December 20, 2017. Beloved husband for 61 beautiful years to Annette I. (Godino) Inesso; cherished father of Constance Ionadi (Pat), Diane Faith (William), Michelle Ledyard (Jon) and the late Angel Inesso; loving grandfather of Patrick, Richard and Antonio Ionadi, William, Annette, Matthew and Daniel Faith and Jonathan (Brittany), Joseph (Angela), Danielle and Joshua Ledyard; great-grandfather of Caylee and Everie Ledyard. Preceded in death by his parents, Frank and Christina Inesso and siblings, James Inesso, Florence Niglio, Jean Grumbaugh, Lillian Homison, Inez Fello and Savers Frank Inesso. Also survived by nieces and nephews. Richard was co-owner, with his brother, Frank, of ICI Industries for 25 years. He was a Korean War veteran, an avid pilot who flew his own single engine Cessna, a Eucharistic Minister at St. Raphael's Church for over 30 years, and a wonderful trumpet player. Richard was a lover of life and his enthusiastic personality was known to all. His arrival was always preceded by his whistling. With Richard, "every day was another day in paradise." Friends and family received at McCABE BROS., INC. FUNERAL HOME, www.mccabebrothers.com, 6214 Walnut Street, Shadyside, on Tuesday, 5 to 8 p.m. and Wednesday, 1-4 and 6-8 p.m. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at St. Raphael Church on Thursday at 10 a.m. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations in Richard's name to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

Been thinking of you, my friend....I miss you. I hope you can see the sunflowers Augie grew in your honor.
There's been some days, some quiet still days, where i swear I can hear you whistling... We all miss and love you Richard.

To the wonderful Inesso Family,
Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this sad and trying time. May your precious memories of him help you through the difficult days ahead. We have such great memories of Dick spending the last several years in his company - dancing, singing, praying - whatever we did it was enjoyable being with Dick & Nettie. We cherish these memories and Dick will certainly be missed by the Blough Family.

I never saw Dick without a smile. He as such a kind and caring man. He always said something to make me smile. God bless you Dick you'll be missed. My sympathy to Dick's family.

I have never known a husband, father, grandfather more loving than Mr. Inesso; as well as anyone that loved life as much as he did. He lived every day as "another day in paradise", no matter the circumstances, and his presence always put smiles on the faces of all the loved ones he surrounded himself with. He is certainly in the presence of our dear Lord looking down with the proudest of eyes at all the loved ones he left behind, knowing that the memories that everyone has of him are memories to last a lifetime.
My deepest, heartfelt sympathy.

Uncle Richard you will be sadly missed. All of your wisdom that you shared over the years will be remembered. You enjoyed life to the fullest and you were always a person you could count on. You loved to fly and now you have your angel wings and your days in paradise will be eternal. You will live in our hearts forever.
