May 5, 1949 – September 7, 2026
Tony Gianfrancesco entered into eternal rest on September 7, 2026 surrounded by his family. He will forever be remembered as a loving father, brother, uncle and friend.
Tony was born in Roccamandolfi, Italy and immigrated to America as a young child. His family settled in Norwood where he enjoyed a childhood playing sports and being mischievous with friends. As an adult, he joined Laborer’s Union Local 592 where he began his career as a laborer and later rose to the position of Business Agent. Tony spent 50 years as a union member where he worked among wonderful colleagues who became close friends.
Spending all his spare time with his family was most important to him, carrying on family traditions that were rooted early in his life – from making homemade sausage and wine to gardening and spending every holiday with those he loved. He also enjoyed golfing with friends, fishing and gardening.
Tony was predeceased by his parents, Felicia and Antonio Gianfrancesco, his sister Maria D’Andrea and husband Giacomo, his sister Emilia Gianfrancesco, and his brother Giacomo Gianfrancesco. He is survived by his daughters Sara Marie Gianfrancesco and Monica, his sister Louisa Anastasi and husband Floro, sister-in-law Angelina Gianfrancesco, and many nieces, nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews who all adored him.
He will forever be missed and his memory will be eternally cherished.
