Ramon Torres Jr.

Ramon Torres Jr., 69, of Round Top, NY, passed away on November 29, 2025, twelve days after the passing of his beloved wife of 51 years, Sharon L. Torres. Their story began in the Bronx when they were both teenagers, growing into a lifelong marriage marked by devotion, strength, and unwavering love. Ramon spent over three decades in Greene County, where he became a familiar and well-loved figure. A certified glazier, he worked in Manhattan for many years, contributing to some of New York City’s most iconic buildings, including Metropolitan Tower, Park Avenue Tower, Park Avenue Plaza, the Seagram Building, the AT&T Building, the IBM Building, One Columbus Circle, the World Financial Center, and the World Trade Center. He took great pride in helping shape the skyline before retiring Upstate due to ongoing health challenges. He had a lifelong passion for racing pigeons. Ramon was known for his sharp wit and easy humor, the kind of man who could lift the mood in any room. Beyond being funny and lighthearted, he was dependable, steady, and deeply loyal. Whether listening, giving advice, or simply showing up when someone needed him, he was the type of person who always had your back. He enjoyed cigars on the deck, feeding the birds, salsa music, cooking, yard work, and caring for his family, a role he cherished most. He was a wonderful father and mentor, guiding his children with patience, wisdom, and unconditional love. Even the family pets adored their “Grand Dad” and felt his gentle presence in their lives. Ramon is survived by his children: Jaime Torres and her partner Santos Carrasquillo; Jennifer Johns and her husband Timothy Johns; Katherine Torres Cerulli and her partner Jason Bibeau; and his son Raymond J. Torres. He is also survived by his grandchildren: Tyler Bushey and his wife Corinne Bushey, Vinnie Keough, Anthony Cerulli Jr., and Aubree Cerulli. He leaves behind his sisters Lydia Rivera and Olivia Torres and her partner Eddie Centeno; his brother Efrain Torres and his wife Maria Torres; as well as many nieces and nephews who loved him dearly. Ramon is also survived by his beloved sister-in-law Linda McCue, with whom he shared a close bond, and her family. He is survived by his best friend Armando Vicenty and his wife Nicole Vicenty, who were like family to him. He also leaves behind his longtime friends Gail Incigeri and her late husband Michael Incigeri, as well as his dear friends Peter Fiorica and his wife Zina, and the entire Rivera Family of Virginia, with whom the Torres family shared a long and meaningful relationship. A joint memorial and Mass for Ramon and his predeceased wife, Sharon L. Torres, will be held on Friday, December 12th, 2025, beginning at 10:00 AM, followed by Mass at 11:00 AM at Our Lady of Knock Shrine Mission in East Durham, NY. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Ramon’s name to the American Heart Association or the American Diabetes Association. Ramon will be remembered for his humor, his loyalty, his incredible work ethic, the love he had for his family, and the steady, caring presence he brought into the lives of all who knew him.
