With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Fred Totera, 76, of Patterson Township, on February 10, 2025, at Heritage Valley Beaver.

Born in Beaver Falls, he was the son of Margaret (Barile) and Fred Totera.

Fred graduated from Beaver Falls High School in 1966 and from Geneva College in 1970. He owned and operated Fred Totera Vending for many decades.

He was a loyal husband, father and friend. Fred — the Man, the Myth, the Legend — had a larger than life personality and was a friend to everyone he met. He enjoyed golfing, the Steelers and his Harley. He loved sharing drinks and laughs with friends at the Owls and Turners clubs.

He is survived by his daughter, Tiffany (Ben) Diaz; three brother-in-laws: Mark (Bonnie) Stevens, Bruce (Eileen) Stevens, and Craig (Mary) Stevens; a nephew, Brad (Cari) Stevens; a great-nephew, Lukas Stevens and a great-niece, Hailee Stevens, as well as many cousins.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his wife, Sandra Totera and in-laws, Kay and Paul Stevens.

The family would like to thank Franciscan Manor and Rochester Manor for their compassionate care. The family would also like give special thanks to Yvette Cavallo for her love and dedication to the "old man."

Per Fred's request, a private service will be held at a later date. Arrangements were handled by GABAUER-LUTTON FUNERAL HOME & CREMATION SERVICES, INC.-117 Blackhawk Road, Beaver Falls, PA 15010.

In lieu of flowers, donations in his memory may be made to the Beaver County Humane Society: https://beavercountyhumanesociety.org/online-donation/
