Robert Retorto Obituary
Robert Retorto, 46, of Owego, NY passed away unexpectedly on January 20, 2017. He is survived by his daughter, the light of his life, Ashlee Retorto; his sister, Jennifer Cosgrove; his brothers, Dominick and David Retorto; several nieces, nephews; and his beloved "furry" companions. Robert was predeceased by his parents, Beverly and Dominick Retorto; and his sister, JoAnn Murphy. Robert was a gifted auto technician with the natural ability to fix anything. He was always willing to help someone in need. He loved snowmobiling, four-wheeling, racing, and was a loyal Buffalo Bills fan. Robert also struggled with addiction; a disease that took him from us too soon. If you, or a loved one are battling addiction, please seek help; you are not alone.
Friends are invited to attend a celebration of Robert's life on Friday February 3, 2017 from 3:00pm until 6:00pm at the Owego Moose Lodge, 3 Goodrich Rd. Owego, NY 13827. Please share your memories at www.RichardsFH.com

I shared some good memory's with Robert He was a great mechanic and good friend. I will never forget the night he jumped 20' from the roof of Tony's shop and landed on the race car trailer like Spider Man. Rest in peace my dear friend until we meet again.

I am so sorry for your family's loss. I applaud your bravery and honesty. I lost my son two years ago to a heroin overdose and shared the same sentiment you did in your loved one's obituary, it is the best way to let their light shine on.
