His family owned a grocery store on Otisco Street. He was also a founding member of the West Side Men?s Club.
Tony was a strong advocate for worker?s rights and he served as a business agent for Teamster?s Union Local 317 for 24 years, retiring in 1979. He played an integral role in the creation of the pension fund for construction workers.
Tony?s greatest passion besides his family was golf. He proudly shot two holes in one in Zephyrhills, Florida when he was in his eighties.
Tony is survived by his wife Rosaria; his son and daughter-in-law Samuel and Edna Cimilluca of Mexico, NY; his daughter and son-in-law Elaine and Anthony Vadala of Mattydale.
