Richard was a proud U.S. Air Force Veteran. Born in Beattyville KY. he loved bluegrass music, the mountains, fishing, gardening and all things outdoors. After stints as a Norwood police officer and at Crosley Broadcasting, he started his own landscaping company. "Dad could tell you the name of every tree, plant, flower and weed!" his daughter, Karen, says. Illness forced him to give up his business, and he joined the Cincinnati Post and later the Cincinnati Enquirer as a district circulation manager, where he retired from. Together with his wife, Bonnie, he enjoyed traveling, they especially enjoyed cruises, with Jamaica a favorite destination.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in memory of Richard Overbee to The Ohio Veterans Home 2003 Veterans Blvd. Georgetown, OH 45121 or Hospice of Cincinnati, Blue Ash.
The family would like to thank the staff of the Ohio Veterans Home for loving dad as much as we did. A special thank you to his nurses, Ann, Pam, Jane & Judy, and the best social worker ever, Dana.
