KRESS, Anthony A., 81, of Montvale, NJ, formerly of Garfield, NJ, passed away on Thursday, November 9th, 2023. Tony was a graduate of Rutgers University and Seton Hall Law School. He is survived by his beloved wife of 60 years Carol as well as his daughters Amanda and Amy and her partner Todd Mogenson.
Tony felt a deep sense of commitment to country, community and family. An Army veteran who served in Vietnam achieving the rank of Captain, Tony was the recipient of the Bronze Star and Army Commendation Medal. He continued his civic commitment as a member of the NJ Bar Association and retired in 2020. Though he rediscovered interests in cooking, guitar and target shooting in his retirement, it is the loving devotion to his wife and family for which he will be forever remembered. He touched the lives of his friends and clients alike and will be missed dearly by all who knew him.
The family will receive guests at Becker Funeral Home, 219 Kinderkamack Rd., Westwood, NJ on Wednesday, November 15th from 2-4PM with a Memorial Service and Military Honors immediately following at 4PM. Memorial contributions can be made in Tony’s name to the Tunnels To Towers Foundation @ T2T.Org/Donate
