Roberto Losso Hauppauge New York Death, Obituary – It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Roberto Losso, also known as “Coach Berto,” a cherished coach, family member, and friend. Roberto, a long-time employee at Clare Rose Inc., tragically passed away after battling health complications, leaving a massive void in the lives of his family and the many hockey players he mentored throughout his life.
The Heart of a Coach
Roberto was more than just a coach; he was a guiding light for his players. He inspired young athletes with his dedication to the game, but more importantly, he nurtured them with his generosity, patience, and love. Whether he was helping a player sharpen their skills on the ice or offering advice about life off the rink, Roberto was always there for those who needed him.
The Losso family expressed their sorrow and pride in the outpouring of love and support from the community, especially the Long Island Royals hockey organization and Superior Ice Rink. “Thank you to everyone who stood by Berto,” the family wrote. “He loved you all, and we could never repay you for the things you did when we couldn’t be there.”
His impact extended beyond the rink. Many families recall how Roberto would go out of his way to support them during difficult times, always offering a kind word, a prayer, or even a simple check-in to ensure they were doing okay.
A Coach Who Inspired
Roberto’s love for hockey was infectious, and his coaching style made a lasting impact on the young athletes who had the privilege of playing for him. Many of his former players recall how Roberto not only taught them about the sport, but also about teamwork, discipline, and perseverance. He understood the importance of building character in his players, both on and off the ice.
In his final years, despite battling his own health issues, Roberto continued to show up for his players, motivating them to push through adversity. His love for the game and for his players never waned, and his influence can still be felt by those who played under his guidance.
“Coach Berto’s lessons went far beyond the rink,” said one former player. “He taught me how to be a better person, not just a better hockey player.”
