Robert Torre Obituary
Robert "Butch" Torre, 74, longtime resident of West Haven, and mayor of Everywhere, passed suddenly in Maplewood, NJ, on January 13. He was born in New Haven on July 22, 1944, son of the late Charles and Rose Ciccarelli Torre. Throughout his life he held a variety of jobs, including milkman, manager of his brother-in-law Ritchie's deli in Milford and sanitation driver for Latella Carting. Butch had a zest for life. He loved classic cars, radios and reminiscing with family and friends. He leaves behind his wife Viola of 52 years, daughter Leslie and her husband David and twin grandchildren, Wyatt and Adeline. He was preceded in death by his beloved sister, Olympia DeLucia. A celebration of his life will be held Saturday, January 26, at the Ocean View Condominiums clubhouse: 375 Captain Thomas Blvd., West Haven, 1-5 p.m. In lieu of flowers, Butch would want to remind you to always have cash in your wallet and to get your oil changed.
