Anthony "Tony" Staropoli

December 19, 1938 — January 12, 2025

Anthony ("Tony") Staropoli, 86, passed away peacefully on January 12, 2025, surrounded by his family. He was the beloved husband of Antonette Amoroso, and a proud father, grandfather and great-grandfather. Tony was born on December 19, 1938, on a family farm in Caria, Italy to Francesco Staropoli and Elisabetta LaRuffa. As the oldest of four, Tony immigrated to the U.S. at the age of 17, helping to support his parents and siblings in Italy. Tony proudly earned his U.S. Citizenship and became a homeowner at an early age. He worked as an upholsterer for 10 years and then a machinist for 33 years at Standard Press Steel. Tony and his late wife Marie Antonucci were blessed with 4 children in their 13 years of marriage.

In 1998, Tony married Antonette Amoroso and enjoyed a long and happy retirement. He was an expert Italian cook, treating friends and family to many authentic feasts. Always energetic, Tony continued maintaining lawns and landscaping for friends and neighbors until the age of 85.

In addition to his wife, Antonette, Tony is survived by his brothers John (Marie) of North Wales, and Vincenzo (Sina) of Caria, Italy; his children Lisa Granger (Mark), Frank, Anthony (Christine), and Michael (Patty); his stepchildren (Alison, Cathy, Anthony and Angela Amoroso); 16 grandchildren and 5 great grandchildren.

He is predeceased by his parents, his sister, Dominica, and his great granddaughter, Eliza Rose Staropoli.
