Richard Torres Richard Torres, 49, of Exeter Township, passed away on Saturday, January 30, 2021, in Reading Hospital. He was the husband of Sherrie (Gilbert) Torres.

He is also survived by his father in law Craig Gilbert and mother in law Nadine Fasig. In addition, he is survived by many wonderful uncles, aunts, cousins and nephews. Rich was an amazing husband and father of his two boys which were his pride and joy. His love for his family was immeasurable and his twin brother Elliot was his life buddy for sure. As a huge Eagles fan he enjoyed watching the games and hanging with his “Steeple Chase” crew. Rich would lend a hand to anyone and was always a blast to be around. His kindness was obvious when he fostered and failed recently his pittie girl Sammi. To know Rich is to love Rich and he will be greatly missed by many.

Our hearts were deeply saddened upon hearing the news of Richard's passing. He was always a joy to be around and we loved seeing him at the Pike on wing night and at family gatherings. A zest for life, a happy, warm and loving soul. When referencing him in conversation, it was never Richard, it was always Richard and Elliot. He will be greatly missed. Our prayers are with the entire family at this time. May the Lord wrap his arms around you in your time of sorrow.
With All Our Love,
The Galan Family
