RICHARD "RICK" ALBERT SOSKA, February 23, 1958 - August 5, 2014, went to be with the Lord peacefully, after a courageous fight with colorectal cancer. Rick was the oldest of four children born to the late Chester Soska, Sr. and Philomena (nee Guerriero) and is survived by his younger siblings Robert (MaryJo) Soska, Chester Soska, Jr. and Christina (Adam) Richards. He enjoyed spending time with his family and friends, catching the latest movie at the cinema and taking regular trips to Cedar Point with his close friend Marlene Mohnickey, whom he cared for deeply. Rick will always be remembered for his kind spirit, generosity and loving nature. He was Uncle to Joe and Becky (deceased) Soska and Katie and Spencer Richards. Rick is no longer with us physically, but will always be carried in the hearts of those who love him and miss him deeply.
