Anthony Joseph Tedesco, 89, of Loyalsock, passed away peacefully and surrounded by loved ones on Wednesday, November 23, 2022. He was beloved among his family and friends and will be missed dearly.
Born March 14, 1933 in Williamsport, he was the son of the late Joseph and Emily (Turi) Tedesco.
Tony proudly served his country in the United States Navy during the Korean War, an honor he wished had carried longer and loved telling stories about his experiences around the world.
He was an extremely hard worker who managed resorts in the Pocono’s including the Pocono Crest, The Picasso, and Le Chateau. He began working in car sales at Fowler Motors in 1980 and was one of the top salespeople in the area for nearly 40 years as he continued working well into his 80s. He was a man of high integrity and honesty and was beloved by his customers who were often more loyal to buying from him than to a particular car brand.
Tony was an avid gardener and loved cooking with his fresh ingredients and treating friends to tomatoes and hot peppers. He loved weightlifting and trained his sons and their friends as they grew up. Tony was a deeply religious man and prayed regularly to Mother Mary and Jesus, with his rosaries wrapped around his hands asking to watch over his loved ones.
Surviving in addition to his wife, Jody S. (Bloom) Tedesco are six children, Mark Tedesco (Sharon), Michael Tedesco (Jennifer), David Tedesco (Tracy), Amy Santini (Tom), Dillon Tedesco (Rachael) and Erik Tedesco; ten grandchildren, Michael, Nicholas, Emilee, Alyson, Jacob, Mason, Cole, Paige, Jake, and Elisabeth; nine great-grandchildren, Makailah, Amayah, Colton, Bianca, Cheyanne, Camden, Angelo, William, and Scarlet; a great-great granddaughter, Ariya; a sister, Joyce Mary Francis; and numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins.
