One of 13 siblings born in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, to Frank and Anna Morelli, he joined the USAF in June of 1950, serving in Iceland, Germany, and North Dakota as an aviation protective equipment pilot life support supervisor.
Tony was awarded the AF Good Conduct Medal with 3 Oak Leaf Clusters before he retired in 1971 to Rome, N.Y., and later, Niagra Falls, until his health brought him here in 2002 to be near his daughters.
An avid lifelong athlete, wonderful humorist, humble father, brother and friend, he is preceded in death by his loving wife, Josephine Tilli.
Tony is survived by two loving daughters, Christine and Antoinette; son-in-law, Joe Lee Burns; and his beloved 4-legged 'grandkids' that all brought him such comfort and love.
