Tony lived in Brooklyn and Queens most of his life and was a truck driver.  He was a one-time boxing champ in Brooklyn and was really known as a “man’s man”.  Tony had beautiful blue eyes, a big personality and loved to joke around.  He loved music and had a great singing voice.  He was a member of the Italian-American League and the Captain at the Feast of San Gennaro in NYC. Tony was a true friend to everyone who knew him and will be sadly missed.

Tony is survived by his beloved wife of over 60 years, Theresa (Russo) DiMatteo; three loving children Angelo DiMatteo, Madeline (Bobby) Rodriguez and Mary (Greg) Destro; 5 cherished grandchildren Bobby Jr., Anthony “Tony”, Michael, David and Christina; two dear siblings Connie and Josie and many friends and family in Brooklyn.  He was predeceased by his parents and a sister, Marie.
