Anthony Rose

Tony was born in Leeds, UK, September 11, 1944 to William and Dora (nee Brosgarth) Rose. In his childhood years his family relocated to Sydney, Australia. Anthony grew up in Bondi Beach until his early twenties. After relocating back to the UK for a few years, he finally settled in West Palm Beach, FL. While in there he married and started a family, later moving to Naples, FL. He is survived by his wife of 42 years, Suzanne (nee Dorriety) and three children; Jennifer (Daniel) Shapiro of Maryland, Deborah Todd of Naples, FL, and David (Stacie) Rose of Virginia; 6 grandchildren, Erik and Rebecca Shapiro, Jacob and Aiden Todd, and Noah and Kayla Rose; his older brother Paul (Annmay) Rose; niece Tina and nephews Leon in New Zealand and David in Australia.

Tony was a caring person who was taken too soon and will be missed by everyone who knew him. He taught his children that hard work allowed for the enjoyment in life. He loved to travel and made sure his children had the opportunity to experience other places and peoples of the world. Tony enjoyed fishing, spending time with our dog Rosie and his grandchildren. He made an enormous impact on how compassionate and caring his children are today.
