Richard "Dick" T. Shanholtzer, 84, of Romney, W.Va., a loving husband, father, grandfather, and friend to all, passed away, peacefully, at home, surrounded by family, on July 10, 2023.

Born, April 2, 1939, in Kirby, to the late Chester and Savilla Shanholtz, Richard was a resident, of Romney, and a graduate, of Romney High School, Class of 1959. He had a career, in banking, beginning in Romney, at First National Bank, and retiring, from BB&T, in Cumberland, as a branch manager.

He was an active member in his community, where he volunteered, as a first responder, on the rescue squad, and served, as Recorder, for the Town of Romney. Richard was an active member, of Our Lady of Grace Church, where he was also a 4th Degree member, of the Knights of Columbus.

Richard was the epitome of a family man. In 1966, he married the love of his life, Gloria (Stankwich), with whom he shared 45 years of marriage, before her death. Together, they had two daughters, Andrea (Kevin Kerns) and Stefanie (Ryan Postek). Dick was a grandfather to 4, Ryan & Mackenzie Kerns, and Jordan & Brady Postek. If you knew him, he likely beamed with pride, talking about his family, especially his grandchildren. Richard also had a special relationship with his dog and companion, Greta.

Dick also had a special talent for never meeting a stranger, and leaving a lasting impact, on all he interacted with. His ability, to connect with others, means he is survived, not only by family, including his cousins, Judy Forbeck and Drudy Jarrell, whom he considered sisters; and special sister-in-law, Cleta Smith, and family; but also, special friends, Mia Leone, Lynn Adams, and countless others.
