Richard Francis Schettini

Beloved husband of Anna for 65 years, devoted father of five children, Francis (Amy) Schettini, Lisa (Michael) Rita, Richard Schettini, Diana Rose and Anne Marie (Daniel) Lynch. Also survived by his two sisters Anita Zarbis and Carol Ann Valderrama, 11 grandchildren, 7 great grandchildren plus two on the way, his two sisters-in-law and brother-in-law, many cousins, nieces and nephews. Rich is predeceased by his Brother Francis Schettini and son-in-law David Rose.

Rich was a gentle giant - a quiet man with a kind soul. Rich loved driving a bus in New York City and always offered a smile to his passengers. He was a proud Air Force Veteran, a member of the Knights of Columbus and an involved parishioner at Mary’s Nativity Church.
