ALBANY—Louis R. Negri, 77, of Hillsdale passed away at St. Peter’s Hospital February 21, 2025 after a brief illness. He was born in North Canaan, CT, May 5, 1947 to the late Domenic and Anna (Consolini) Negri. After graduating high school “Lou” took various jobs. He started working at Butternut Ski resort when he was 17-18 and then went to work for Price Chopper in Great Barrington in the produce department. He eventually retired from there and enjoyed spending his retirement with his wife, Robin. They both were avid bowlers, and happened to meet by chance at the bowling alley. Although they didn’t have children together, he was like a father to her children. He enjoyed watching horse races and the occasional Bloody Mary, but above all he enjoyed spending time with his family.

He is survived by: his loving wife, Robin and her children, Georgia (Eric) Zyryi, and Jason Jones; his sister-in-law, Georgia Miles and extended family.

In honoring his wishes, no formal services will be held at this time. Arrangements were with the Peck and Peck Funeral Home. Copake.
