Richard Libro

Richard Libro of Buffalo Junction, Virginia, passed away at his home on March 11, 2026, at the age of 69 due to complications from smoke inhalation.

Mr. Libro is survived by his longtime companion, Robin French; his brother, Nick (Joe Horman) sisters, Marina Libro (Rebecca Brashears); and Sandi Libro-Beller (Jeff Beller, deceased). He was predeceased by his parents, Allan and Angelina (Bertolino) Libro, and his wife, Lorraine (Bassiagani) Libro. He will also be fondly remembered by his paternal uncle, Vincent Libro, along with numerous cousins and friends.
