Richard Alexander Fiorelli, 86, of Fishers, Indiana, passed away on October 19, 2025. He was born on September 7, 1939, in Jessup, Pennsylvania, to the late Armand and Josephine Fiorelli.
Rich was a proud graduate of Villanova University. He is remembered for his vibrant personality, deep love for his family, and devotion to his Catholic faith.
Rich was an avid golfer. He enjoyed spending time on the course and traveling to different places for the game. He especially cherished the time golfing with his grandsons.
Rich cherished his Czechoslavakian Christmas Eve dinner celebration. Gathering around the table with good food and family was a staple in Rich’s life that he has passed down.
Rich never shied away from sharing his opinions, often sparking lively discussions, especially with those who were fortunate enough to enjoy time in his company. He was a devout Catholic and part of the Cursillo Community, and his faith served as a guiding force in his life, influencing not only his actions but also the values he passed down to his grandchildren.
Rich's legacy is one of warmth, humor, and influence, particularly on his beloved grandchildren, for whom he served as a role model. He will be profoundly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
Rich is survived by his daughter, Geri (Ed) Neu; grandchildren, Taylor, Alec, Jack, and Josie; and siblings, Cynthia (late husband Bill) Neznayko and Robert (Theresa) Fiorelli. Rich was preceded in passing by his loving spouse, Georgie, and daughter, Lisa Fiorelli.
