Richard Perotti Obituary

Richard Perotti
03/25/1945 - 08/14/2025
Richard "Rick" Perotti, 80, passed away peacefully on August 14, 2025. Born in San Francisco to Louise and Dante, Rick was a man whose life was defined by his devotion to his family and his strong work ethic. He grew up in the Noe Valley neighborhood of San Francisco with his brother Ronald and sister Nancy, attended St. Paul's grammar school and was a graduate of Riordan High School, class of 1963. Rick proudly served in the Army and spent his career in the pharmaceutical industry. Rick found his greatest joy in spending time with his wife of over 56 years, Donna, his children and grandchildren. He was a man of quiet strength and was always there to support family and friends. Rick's legacy lives on through his loving family: his wife, Donna; his children, Timothy and his wife Molly, Kevin (Shane), and Colleen (Alex); and his eight grandchildren, Alyssa, Brooke, Emma, Paige, Parker, Connor, Quinn, and Taylor, all of whom brought him immense light and pride. He had a rich life surrounded by a large family and is survived by his bother Ron and family, sister-in-law Carolyn Tamony and family, sister-in-law Marijanneke (Gil) Barcelo and family, brother-in-law Bob Mitchell and brother-in-law Bill Holmes and many cousins in the Perotti and Tamony families. Rick is predeceased in death by his mother and father, his sister Nancy Holmes, brother-in-law Michael Tamony and sister-in-law Catherine Mitchell. A memorial service will be held at Duggan's Serra Mortuary 500 Westlake Ave. Daly City on Thursday August 28 at 6pm. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to Riordan High School in Rick's honor.

Rick was a great guy to work with. Always had a good perspective on things. I valued his input in/outside of work. He was one of the good guys. Rest in peace Rick
