STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Richard P. Valore, 64, of Annadale, a retired operations manager, died Sunday in Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital, New Brunswick, N.J., of Lou Gehrig's disease.

Born in the Bronx, he also lived in South Brunswick, N.J., before relocating to Annadale 17 years ago. He had been living with his daughter in Old Bridge, N.J., for five months.

Mr. Valore had a 40-year career as an operations manager for Advest Inc., Manhattan. He retired in 2001.

He was a member of the Cashiers' Association of Wall Street.

A U.S. Army veteran, he was stationed in Germany during the late 1960s.

Mr. Valore loved going to the beach, and he enjoyed photography and traveling.

"He was a great husband, father and pop-pop," his family said.

Surviving are his wife of 21 years, the former Toni Jean Trello; his daughter, Nicole Bonavita; his father, Paul Valore; two grandsons, and his former wife, the former Beverly Raskin.

The funeral service will be tonight at 8 in the Old Bridge (N.J.) Funeral Home. Arrangements include cremation.
