Tony was proud of his Old North Dayton roots, attending Our Lady of the Rosary School through the 8th grade. He had countless stories of the nuns, playing in Stuart Patterson Park, and walking 10 miles back and forth to school in the snow (which was actually three blocks)! He went on to Chaminade, graduating in 1967. He held positions at Frigidaire, the Duriron Company and spent the majority of his career at General Motors and Delphi, prior to his retirement. He was an avid sports fan with a passion for the Bengals, Reds, Tiger Woods, Notre Dame football, and Xavier basketball.
The last years of Tony’s life were a struggle, due to Parkinson’s Disease. Although his body was weak, his will remained strong. He is now reunited with his parents and brother that he missed for so long. Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace.
