With sadness I have news to share that David Love passed away suddenly on October 13, 2024.

This is Dave's obituary:

David Edward Love

September 21, 1953 — October 13, 2024

Xenia

David Edward Love, 71, of Xenia, Ohio, passed away unexpectedly on Sunday, October 13, 2024.

Born on September 21, 1953, David lived a life filled with love, dedication, and a passion for cars and family.
David is preceded in death by his father Russell Love, mother Doris Gay, and stepfather Larry Gay. He is survived by his beloved wife of 48 years, Jennifer Garman Love, and his children Kevin (Chasity) Love, Matthew (Sheryl) Love, and bonus daughter Kristina (Kyle) Kitzmiller. He was a proud grandfather to Jacob, Kaleb, Liberty, Chloe, Kiptyn, Sawyer, and Cecelia. David also leaves behind his brother Tommie (Judy) Love, sister Diane Love, and numerous family members and friends who cherished him dearly.

David graduated from Greenon High School in 1971 and attended Sinclair College. He worked at Southwestern Portland Cement for 16 years before retiring from Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in 2017 after a 20-year career. Prior to his civilian work, David proudly served his country in the U.S. Air Force from 1972 to 1975 as an aircraft mechanic, specializing in the maintenance of B-52 bombers. After retirement, David and Jennifer enjoyed spending the winters in the warm sunshine of Florida for five months.

David was a dedicated member of the Vintage Chevrolet Club, where he enjoyed driving and collecting Chevrolets from 1925 and up. He was a true car enthusiast, known as a jack of all trades, and his passion for restoration and collecting was only matched by his deep love for his family.

With sadness I have news to share that John Risher passed away on August 6, 2024. John is the brother to our classmate Michelle Risher.

John's obituary reads:

John Risher Obituary
RISHER, John Francis PhD

Respected toxicologist and retired Navy captain, John Francis Risher passed away on August 6, 2023, at the age of 76, in Decatur, Georgia.

Born to John Edwin Risher and Marie Rosann (Radovich) Risher in Baltimore, Maryland, John was the eldest brother to Barry, Michelle and Rob. He shared 45 years of marriage with his wife, Joy Annette (Jungemann) Risher, after meeting at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. They are both survived by their children: April Foust (husband, Matthew), John Welsey Risher (wife, Amy) and Scott Risher; two grandchildren: Gabby and Madelyn Foust; and his siblings.

Dedicating his life to service and a tireless pursuit of knowledge, John held a Ph.D. in toxicology from the University of Cincinnati, a M.S. in zoology from Miami University, and a B.S. in biology from Miami University. While at Miami, he joined the Naval Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC), before serving on the USS Whitfield County in Vietnam, where he was awarded a Navy Commendation. Leaving active duty in 1972, he spent the remainder of this service in the Navy Reserve, advancing to the rank of Captain. John's career as a toxicologist stretched across four decades with significant contributions to the literature on the health impacts of environmental exposure to mercury and other chemical compounds. He retired in 2015 from the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) with over 25 publications, after previous stints at the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). John also taught as an adjunct professor at Shorter College and Georgia Military College.

John is remembered fondly by his family for his passion for animals, weightlifting, scotch, and the music and television of his childhood.

With sadness I have news to share that Kay E. Bell Coombs passed away on August 9, 2024. Kay is the sister of our classmate, Eugene Bell.

Kay's obituary reads:

Kay E. Coombs
August 26, 1950 — August 9, 2024

Dover, Ohio

Kay E. Coombs, 73, of Dover, a dedicated Registered Nurse known for her compassionate care and adventurous spirit, passed away on August 9, 2024, at Ohio's Hospice Truman House in New Philadelphia.

Kay was born on August 26, 1950, in Willard, Ohio. She was the daughter of the late George A. and Catherine A. (Pittenger) Bell.

Kay's professional career was defined by her 37 years of service as a Registered Nurse at Union Hospital, where she primarily worked in the Emergency Room. Her commitment to providing exceptional care to those in need touched the lives of countless patients and colleagues. After retiring from Union Hospital, Kay embraced a new chapter as a travel nurse, a role that allowed her to combine her love for nursing with her passion for travel. Through this opportunity, Kay had the chance to venture to various corners of the globe, immersing herself in different cultures and communities.

She began her educational journey at Greenon High School in Enon, Ohio, and later pursued her dream of becoming a Registered Nurse by graduating from the Community Hospital School of Nursing in Springfield, Ohio. Kay's thirst for knowledge and desire to make a difference in the healthcare field was evident throughout her career as she continued to learn and grow.

Outside of her professional life, Kay found joy in many of her hobbies and interests. She had a deep appreciation for nature and could often be found swimming, biking, or tending to her garden. Kay's adventurous spirit led her to explore destinations far and wide, including her mission trips to the Philippines, Australia, and Ukraine. She also traveled to Hawaii, Lanai, Maui, St. Croix, Israel, and Thailand. Her love for scuba diving and the tranquility of the beach brought her immense happiness and peace.

She had an unwavering faith, which served as a guiding light throughout her life. She was an active member of the First Baptist Church of Jackson, where her spiritual beliefs provided her with strength and comfort. Kay's kindness, resilience, and genuine spirit endeared her to all who had the privilege of knowing her.

In her final moments, Kay was surrounded by her loving family, a testament to the deep bonds she cultivated throughout her lifetime. In July of 1971, she married the love of her life, Ron Coombs. Years later, she was fortunate enough to fall in love with Ron for a second time and the couple remarried in July of 2003. In addition to Ron, she will be sadly missed by her children; Ronald "Ron" James Coombs Jr., Catherine (Robert) Penrod of New Philadelphia, Rachel Coombs (Derrick Barker) of Dover, Paul Coombs of Chestertown, Maryland, and Elizabeth Coombs (Gary Williams) of New Philadelphia; nine beloved grandchildren, two great-grandchildren; two brothers, Allen (Marsha) Bell of Dayton, Eugene (Susanne) Bell of Coshocton; along with many nieces and nephews and beloved extended family members.

In addition to her parents, she was also preceded in death by two great-grandsons.

A celebration of Kay's life will take place at the Toland-Herzig Funeral Home and Crematory in Dover on Friday, August 16, 2024, at 11:00 a.m. with Pastors Tom Gang and Aaron Stanley officiating. The MidEast Ohio Nurses Honor Guard will be doing a final call. Burial will follow at Dover Burial Park. Following the service of committal, a meal will be served at the Toland-Herzig Monarch Center. Friends can call on Thursday, August 15, 2024, from 5:00-7:00 p.m. or on Friday from 10:00-11:00 a.m. at the funeral home. To sign an online guestbook for Kay, visit the obituary link on the funeral home's website.
