With heavy hearts, we share the passing of Richard Combetta. He was a man who was truly family-oriented, faithful, and full of love. He was a devoted husband who just celebrated 60 years of marriage with his loving wife, Sue. He was a great dad, and an even better papa, who found joy in spending time with family and friends and was always so proud of the accomplishments of those he loved.
He served proudly as a member of the Knights of Columbus and dedicated his time to his church community. He also carried a deep pride in his years with Campbell’s Soup and the memorabilia that brought him so much joy.
There will always be a hole left in our hearts, but we take comfort in knowing he is now in heaven, reunited with his daughter, Beth.
