Anthony M. Carnevale

Anthony M. Carnevale, 94, of Old Tappan, met his Lord on Sunday, September 13, 2015 surrounded by his loving family. Born in Hoboken on July 3, 1921 to Giovanni and Assunta; Tony was predeceased by his first wife Ann (Gioffi) and his brother, Michael. He is survived by his loving wife Ann Pacifico Carnevale and siblings, Gabe, Anna Vitulano and Filomena Olivari. Devoted father of John and wife Dee of Waretown, NJ, Judy Pacifico and husband Michael of Johns Creek, GA and Michele Carnevale of Hawthorne, NJ. Caring step-father to Kristine Luisi and husband Jim and Diana Morro and husband Dave. “Pop” to his grandchildren: Jeffrey Carnevale and wife Jennifer, Kevin Carnevale and wife Lauren, Lauren Pacifico, Matthew Pacifico and Paige Lazicki; and great-grandchildren Annie and Johnny Carnevale, Nathan and Aaron Carnevale as well as step-grandchildren, Michael, Christopher and Peter Luisi, Nicholas and Annie Morro.

Born and raised in Hoboken during difficult times, Tony grew up cherishing the Dodgers. When World War II waged, he served in the Pacific with the brave men of the US Air Corps. Returning, he supported his family and led a successful business career on Wall Street; even though he pined to make a blank canvas come to life. Always placing family first, Tony personified love: love of life, love of being, love for others. All those that had the pleasure of knowing Tony were like his blank canvases, fuller after his touch. Throughout life he loved what he did before doing what he loved, yet thankfully retirement granted him the peace to pursue his passions. Brush in hand he could capture any beauty and portray any moment.

A Celebration of Life Mass will be held Thursday 10:00 AM at Church of the Presentation, 271 W. Saddle River Rd., Upper Saddle River with interment to follow at Holy Cross Cemetery, North Arlington.
