Antonio Froyo

Tony was the youngest son of Achille Froyo and Giulia Pessolano Froyo from Naples, Italy.

He was a devoted husband, a loving father, a faithful brother, a beloved uncle, and a steadfast friend.

Tony was an accomplished Civil Engineer and University Professor, with a keen curiosity, a wide range of intellectual interests, and an encyclopedic knowledge of world history. In 1959 he graduated from the Universidad Central, and his graduate thesis won the National Award Cipriano Perez of that year. He was one of the founders of the School of Engineering of the Universidad Simon Bolivar.

He loved sailing and fishing, and shared his passion for the sea with his family and friends.

Tony’s keen sense of humor was a constant source of joy and amusement to everyone who knew him, and he taught us the value of integrity and honesty, hard work, generosity and kindness.

He was preceded in death by his siblings Roberto and Liliana.

Tony is survived by his wife Ivanka, sister Annamaria, daughter Patricia, son Alejandro, son in law Michael, daughter in law Susana, granddaughter Kathy, grandsons Alex and Jason, and his many loved nieces and nephews.

He will be deeply missed by all who knew him, and his memory will forever be etched in our hearts.
