Richard L. Torre, affectionately known as "Mr. Rich," of Totowa, formerly of Lodi, passed away on June 21, 2025, at the age of 80. Beloved husband of the late Patricia Ann (nee Ehret) Torre. Devoted father of Christine Nicolosi (Joseph) and Barbara Torre (William Malave). Dear brother of Marie Torre, the late Rose Dino, Florence Torre, and Joseph Torre.
Richard will be remembered for his quick wit, charming personality, and his remarkable ability to make everyone around him laugh-his favorite pastime. He was also a die-hard fan of the New York Yankees and cherished watching the games on TV, especially in person at the iconic Yankee Stadium. He always looked forward to spending time with his children which he adored most of all.
