Richard Craig "Richie" Oslosky, 56, of Export, passed away peacefully on Friday, Sept. 26, 2025, at William Penn Assisted Living Facility. He was born June 10, 1969, in Greensburg, the son of the late John Jr. and Hazel (Woods) Oslosky, and was raised in Export. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his brothers, Randy Oslosky and Jon Oslosky. Surviving are his brothers, Charles of Export and Dennis (Carol) of New Alexandria; his sister-in-law, Delia "Dolly" Oslosky of Penn Township; and his many nieces and nephews, Justin (Ashley) Oslosky, Christopher Oslosky, Nicole (Nick) Braun, Corey Oslosky, Chelsea (DJ) Smith, Tawnya (Tommy) Buczak, Jennifer Melcher, Garrett Oslosky, and Jason Oslosky. He is also survived by numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, great-nieces, and great-nephews. Richie loved the outdoors fishing, water and snow skiing, golfing, cooking meals over an open fire, or riding one of his Harley-Davidson motorcycles, which brought him many eventful adventures. He also loved history and antiques and spent time searching for old arrowheads and exploring historic buildings. He enjoyed good music and food, and he always saved room for a Frosty or milkshake. Since 1994, he has been employed as a maintenance manager at Versa-Fab in New Kensington. Richie was the go-to guy for anyone's painting or welding needs and a valued partner to the employees of Mitsubishi Electric Power Products, Inc. He was a loyal friend to many, known for his generosity he would give the shirt off his back, even if it was his last one. Richie, or as he referred to himself, Rich-O, had a nickname for everyone and a way of making people laugh. His positive attitude throughout his battle with cancer was truly admirable. Rich's last ride was cut short but he's now riding free, leaving a trail of smoke and good memories behind. His spirit is on the open road forever. Relatives and friends of Rich will be received from 10 a.m. until the time of the funeral service at 11 a.m., Saturday, Oct. 4, 2025, at WOLFE-VON GEIS FUNERAL HOME INC., 5701 Lincoln Ave., Export, 724-327-1400.
