Valentino J. "Mo" Foti, 73, of Roaring Branch, PA, passed away peacefully on Thursday December 18, 2025, at Bradford Hills in Troy, PA. Born October 14, 1952, in Philadelphia, PA, he was the son of the late Orlando and Rita (Reda) Foti. Mo attended Central High School in Philadelphia and graduated with the class of 1970. Shortly after, he enlisted in the United States Air Force, proudly serving his country for nearly seven months.

On February 23, 1974, Mo married Janet Lobley in Philadelphia. Together they shared 51 years of marriage and raised two children. Known to most simply as "Mo," he spent most of his life working in construction as a roofer, a trade he took great pride in.

Mo loved the outdoors, especially fishing, and he had a deep affection for his horses. He enjoyed watching the Kentucky Derby each year and never missed the excitement it brought. Above all, Mo cherished his mountain house, where he found peace and joy creating lasting memories with his family.

Surviving Valentino are his wife; Janet, at home, a son; Rocco, daughter; Nicole, three grandchildren, as well as several nieces, nephews and cousins.

Valentino was predeceased by his parents.

A private family service will be held at his mountain house at the convenience of the family.
