I am forever grateful to Dr Torre for the dedicated and loving way he took care of my parents José Maria and Libertad Perez.
My father William Steinberg was Dr. Torre's very first patient after he took over Dr. Oransky's practice. Dr. Oransky told Dr. Torre about my dad and that he was his sickest patient at the time and didn't expect him to live a long time. With Dr. Torre's dedication and knowledge and true love of what he was doing, my dad lived happily and healthier for over 20 years. My mother and I became patients of Dr. Torre as well. Dr. Torre as well as Deli, became family to us. I could talk to Dr. Torre about anything going on in my life and he gave me the best advice. He was like a surrogate father to me. He wad there for me during the best and worst times in my life. I was only 18 when I started seeing him and I'm 61 now, so you can imagine the bond we had, including with Deli. I recommended him to so many of my friends who also loved him.
When he retired, I felt so lost. I didn't know what I would do now. No doctor would ever be able to take his place in my eyes. And to date, none ever have. I will always love and miss him, but remember the great talks we had. It was priceless. I miss you Dr. Torre. R.I.P. It's your time now to be free of all pain and illness. Please hug my daddy, mom and sister for me. You're in my heart forever. You have left a beautiful legacy. 💔
We also want to say something about Lillian. Beautiful Lily that has been the soul and the life of her beautiful marriage to Agustin. I met Lily in the Catholic Action long before her marriage to my friend Augustin. We were classmates sitting next to each other in class in the University of Villanueva. I used to save a seat for you, Lily, next to me. Later you went to my wedding under terrible conditions imposed by the communists in Cuba. And later you were one of two people who knew we were escaping the country. You were there when we left for good and we never saw each other again until we reunited in exile many years later when Agustin was in the army in Virginia and you both came to visit us in Baltimore. You have been part of my life and of Lolita too. We love you dearly. You and the entire Torre family are famiy to us. I hope you can have peace and consolation in your new life. We are here for you always. God bless you dear Lillian. Love you big. - Tom & Loly
There are no words to express the deep sorrow that the Chao family feels for the passing of my irreplaceable classmate and brother for a lifetime Agustin. It has been a lifelong friendship that could never be broken. Outside of my family Augustin was the person that had the biggest influence on my life. I remember back in 1977 Agustin, Lillian, Loly and I met for dinner at the “Windows on the World” restaurant in the now ill fated World Trade Center in New York City. The conversation came about moving to Florida, something that we had all been contemplating separately for a long time. That evening Agustin announced that he and his family were definitely moving to Miami. In that moment, with our dear friends, we made the final decision to move too. It was Agustin that had the final word on that decision. This is how much faith I had in him. It is heartbreaking to me that he is gone, when just two years ago he was encouraging me, pumping me up at the moment when my own life was medically in the balance. He was more than a friend to me. He was my brother. Rest In Peace my brother Escolapio. I love you. - Tom Chao
