Anthony J. D'Auria

He was born October 15, 1925 in Brooklyn, New York on the day that electricity was installed in his family home.

He graduated from PS 138 in 1944 with a focus on the electrical technology trade.

He spent many years working for the Long Island Lighting Company (LILCO) where he wired many electrical sub-stations and developed many strong friendships.

In 1950 Anthony met the love of his life, Irene. They were married for 58 years and were an inseperable team.

He was a loving husband, father, grandfather, father-in-law and friend. He took great joy in watching his family grow.

He was a generous man who enjoyed helping others. It was common to find him working on a project for a friend, giving freely of his time and expertise.

He was a principled man who lived a life with very high moral values and a positive perspective on the world.

His kindness, wisdom, and sense of humor will be missed greatly. He was a fun guy to be around.

He is survived by his wife Irene, children Sal, Karen, and Tom, daughter-in-laws Deborah and Denise, son-in-law Bill, and grandchildren Erin, Anthony, Thomas, Peter, and Lisa.
