Anthony DeMartino

Uncle was an Uncle to everyone he met. I enjoyed my conversations with him. He loved being around family. He would sit back and observe the room. He loved when people came to visit him in the city. He was a city boy – plays were his favorite. He lived an amazing life. His memory will continue on through his family.

Losing you, Uncle Anthony, has left a place in my heart that can never be filled. It is difficult to put into words how much you meant to me and how deeply your absence is felt. You were more than just my Uncle—you were a source of love, inspiration and kindness. I will always treasure the memories we shared, your laughter, your showbiz stories, and the little moments that I may not have realized at the time would become some of my most precious memories.

Thank you, Uncle Anthony, for every smile, every laugh, and every moment of love. The world is better place because of you. I will carry you in my heart for the rest of my life.

Love, Danny Mormino

I met Tony a few years back through his dear friend Julie Urdahl. Julie is a 40 year friend of mine, and shared so much in common with Tony. Their love of the Theater and the arts in New York was endless! He was her family in new york, and I was lucky enough to become his friend through her They collaborated together daily as to what was the best show to be seen, looked out for one another, and always were in sync.When she introduced me to him, I was in awe of all that he has seen and done in his long life. His passion for the arts and his joyful heart, made Tony so unique. As Julie says, “there will never be another Tony”! I agree, wholeheartedly. Just being with him and hearing his wonderful stories, stories that were so interesting about all the celebrities he had met through his many years since a teenager, made everyones day brighter! Not to mention his extensive knowledge of the artist themselves. He was a bright light in everyone’s life, and i will miss him dearly. I know he was taken by the hand by our Lord and Savior and introduced to pure bliss and joy in heaven, as it should be. He was a good and faithful servant, and deserving of a beautiful life everlasting.
My sincere sympathy to his family and all of those who loved him.🙏 ♥️🙏

Mr. Tony and I met about four years ago when I was 22 and visiting New York for the first time at a musical play and we immediately hit it off. I was going to go see “HadesTown” in Broadway when he approached the line of people asking if anyone had a spare ticket. I happened to have one because of a friend bailed on me and offered it to him. We spent the next couple of hours chit chatting and enjoying the show when we realized we had tons of similarities and interests. He never did get to come out to the United Kingdom and see a West End show with me. That, I will always regret. He was always a kind hearted man that sought the beauty and the gentleness of others. He lived a long life and had long stories to tell. I had the privilege to even introduce him and his caretaker Ms. Pearly to my girlfriend. He will forever be a friend in my heart and will forever be missed. I thank him for his service and thank him for the kindness he showed me. I will miss you forever my dear friend.
