In Memory Of
Charles A. "Charlie" Rosano, Sr.
1935 - 2019

Charles A. Rosano, Sr., 84, passed from this earth on Thursday, October 17, 2019 surrounded by the love of his family.

Charlie was born on March 16, 1935, son of the late Salvatore P. and Anna (Ramundo) Rosano in Albany.

Charlie proudly served in the Army National Guard. He worked for many years at the family business Rosano's Farm Store and later retired from the Village of Colonie.

He was a man who knew nothing but love, a hard worker who all but broke his body to take care of his family. A man who beamed at the sight of his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren; a devoted husband, father, brother, grandfather, great-grandfather, friend, and father figure to countless people.

He is survived by his beloved wife of 61 years, Joyce (Tober) Rosano; his children, Michelle Thomas (Steve), Chuck Rosano, Jr. (Agnes); grandchildren, Danielle Dixon (Dr. David Dixon), Christine Rosano (fiancé, Tim), Ashley Rosano (fiancé, Josh); great-grandchildren, Gianna Centurioni, James and Teagan Dixon; brother, Paul Rosano (Ellen); sisters, Alessandra Bastiani (John), Bernadette Tremblay (Anthony); brother-in-law, Ronnie Tober (Jan); and many nieces, nephews, cousins, "other children" and friends.

He is reunited in heaven with his parents, step-mother, Alessandra Rosano, brother, Sal and sister, Jean.
