Richard Tatro, Sr. Obituary

Newport, NH: Richard Fred Tatro, Sr. died September 24, 2022 at his home in Newport, NH. He was born 1932 in St Johnsbury, Vt. and remained there until graduating from St Johnsbury High and Vermont Technical School. After graduation he relocated to Litchfield, NH where he raised their family.
He went on to be a lifelong Auto Body Technician and was a master in his craft. His knack for designing, painting and back in the day "pin stripping" was amazing. His children and some of their friends were so lucky to have bikes and vehicles that adorned "one of the kind" artwork. He was employed at many different Auto Body Shops and his last was Boyer's Auto Body in Hudson, NH. After retiring from auto body he spent many years doing maintenance and landscaping for different realtors in the Nashua area. When fully retired he spent the winters in Florida which he loved.
Richard was a very quiet, kind-hearted man who loved his family dearly and always had a smile. If not with his family he preferred to be "putzing" around his home or in his garage. He continued to dabble in his trade by refurbishing and painting antique toys. A tricycle is still being enjoyed by great grandchildren. He also loved antique cars, diners and was never without a dog at his feet.
Richard leaves behind his wife, Edith of 42 years. He is also survived by his daughter, Erlyan Huntington and her husband Jeff, a son Richard Tatro, Jr. and his wife Evelyn, a son Charles Tatro and his wife Brenda, his daughter Brenda Tatro and her husband John, a son Fred Tatro and his wife Kathy and a daughter Robin Trembly. He had 14 grandchildren and many great grandchildren who brought him much joy. He will be missed terribly. We were fortunate to be able to celebrate his 90th birthday 4 days prior to his passing.
There will be no public viewing at his request and a private graveside service will be held in St Johnsbury, Vt. where he will be laid to rest with his parents.
