Richard Dale Lamp, 56, of Weirton died Tuesday November 26, 2019, at the Allegheny General Hospital. Born on May 23, 1963, in Steubenville, OH, Richard was a son of Geraldine Mellott Lamp Dodd of Colliers, WV, and the late Donald Lamp. Rich was also preceded in death by his step father, David A. Dodd, Sr.; and his step brother, David A. Dodd, Jr. Rich graduated from Brooke High School in 1981, and started his career working for Weirton Medical Center. He was in his 38th year of employment with the hospital, working as a shipping and receiving clerk. Rich will always be remembered for his friendly nature, always willing to help others in need. He volunteered much of his time as a volunteer fireman in the Colliers and Weirton communities. Rich’s favorite pastime was hunting and fishing, but nothing compared to the time he cherished with his wife and children. Rich loved to be with his Greco, Dodd and Lamp family. He was a member of Saint Paul’s Roman Catholic Church, the Holy Name, and a former member of the Knights of Columbus 3734. In addition to his mother, Geraldine, Rich will be remembered with love by his wife, Cindy Greco Lamp, who he married on his birthday in 1987; their two children, Rich Lamp and Megan Lamp and her fiancé Jordan West; his two brothers, Rev. Mike Kimball and his wife Laura, and Donald Lamp; and his sister, Denise Donovall and her husband, Douglas; his brothers and sisters in law, and his nieces and nephews. Visitation will be 3-7PM Friday at the Greco Hertnick Funeral Home, 3219 Main Street Weirton, WV, where a Funeral Liturgy of the Word will be held at 7:00 PM. Rev. Fr. Babu Joseph Elamturuthil will preside.

Memories Timeline

Guestbook

  1. Rich was a good man, a wonderful father and husband, and a great friend. Never would he go on by without offer a friendly hello, a helping hand or a simple “SOSDD” to everyone he saw. He will be missed, but he left a true legacy in his children, who he loved very much. He will smile down upon them always.

  2. Rich was always in a good mood and smiling. He loved to stop and chat about most anything. I will miss his easy going, good natured way. He would drop everything to help out anyone who needed it. He will be missed and I was fortunate to have him as a friend.

  3. To Cindy and family, So sorry to hear of Richard’s passing. He will surely be missed at Weirton Medical Center. He always greeted everyone, was interested in how your life was going and was always helpful. He loved his family and was so very proud of his children. Heaven has gained a wonderful angel. Sincerely, Michael and Toni Orlando Gurskey

  4. Cindy and family, we are so sorry to hear of Rich’s passing. We send our most sincere condolences and sympathy. May God grant you peace and comfort. Please pass on our concern to Rich’s Mother Geraldine. Sandi and Ray Gajtka
