STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — Robert G. Farrell, 82, of Marlboro, N.Y., a longtime Staten Islander and retired assistant attorney general, died yesterday in the Hudson Valley Rehabilitation Center, Highland, N.Y., where he had been a resident for the past 14 months.
Born in Brooklyn, Mr. Farrell moved to Westerleigh in 1958, and settled in Orange County, N.Y., in 1984. He relocated to Marlboro three years ago.
A graduate of Manhattan’s Xavier High School, he went on to graduate from Manhattan College and earned a degree from Fordham Law School, also Manhattan.
Mr. Farrell’s career in law spanned 40 years, during which he served as an assistant attorney general in the state Court of Claims, based in Manhattan’s World Trade Center. He retired in 1994.
An avid traveler, he enjoyed touring Europe, and had made several trips to Italy and Ireland. He also traveled across the United States and enjoyed cruising. Mr. Farrell often said he worked to support his travel habit.
He was also interested in politics, and was active in the local Republican Party.
A parishioner of Blessed Sacrament R.C. Church, West Brighton, Mr. Farrell was an active member of the Holy Name Society.
Surviving are his wife of 55 years, the former Charlotte Ciano; two sons, Robert G. Jr. and Joseph F.; two daughters, Anne Farrell and Julia Farrell-Falco, and eight grandchildren.
His son, John E., died in 1979, and his daughter, Charlotte M., died in 2005.
The funeral will be Thursday from the Casey Funeral Home, Castleton Corners, with a mass at 10 a.m. in Blessed Sacrament Church. Burial will follow in St. Peter’s Cemetery, West Brighton.

Dear John,
I think that it is the right guy. Robert G. Farrell is an attorney and back in the 1995 Directory he was a Law Secretary in the NYS Court of Claims in Goshen (Orange County) New York. The Obit has him with the AG’s office working the Court of Claims in the Manhattan Office.
Do you have some other information that there is another Robert Farrell with a similar carer?
Mike
