Thomas Joseph Torretta passed away on July 18, 2026, at the age of 71. Beloved husband of Susan (née Oliver), with whom he shared 38 wonderful years of marriage. Devoted father of the late Kyle (survived by Jenny Sly) and Nina (Chris Riganti) Torretta. Loving grandfather of Mia, Leo, and Aria Riganti.
Beloved son of the late Mario and Mary (née Calcaterra) Torretta. Loving brother of Mary Frances (the late Larry) Viero and John (Jane) Torretta; dear brother-in-law, uncle, cousin, and friend to many.
Tom proudly served as a police officer for more than three decades. He loved his dogs and enjoyed the outdoors, including hunting and fishing. Tom was also an excellent cook and always made sure everyone was fed. His humorous nature and storytelling will be missed. Tom’s final act of kindness was to donate tissue to those in need.
One of Tom’s greatest joys in life was being “Pawpaw” to his three young grandchildren. He watched his grandkids regularly, pushing them around the neighborhood in a blue car and cradling them to sleep in his chair.
