Anthony V. Tocco
d. May 27, 2006
LOUDONVILLE - Anthony "Tony" V. Tocco, 75, passed away to his loving Lord Jesus Christ, peacefully and with dignity on Saturday, May 27th, 2006.
Tony was born on September 22, 1930 in Albany to his loving mother, the late Stella Whimple. Tony was a life long Albany resident and attended Albany High School. He served in the US Army during the Korean War. After returning, he worked for several trucking firms including, Grand Union and then retiring from Ackroyd Roofing Company in 1985. Tony was predeceased by his wife, Frances M. Leonard Tocco.
Tony was a devout Christian. He believed with his heart that Jesus died on the cross for his sins. He spent many hours reading the Word of God and sharing wonderful conversations about his beliefs. He was an excellent prayer warrior for family, friends, neighbors and even total strangers that needed prayers and spiritual guidance. With Tony's faith, "He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers". (Psalm Chap. 1, ver. 3)
Tony is survived by his loving sons, Anthony V. Tocco, Jr. and his wife, Lisa of Colonie and Gary Tocco and his wife, Lonna of Nevada; his adored grandchildren, Antonia Tocco and Anthony V. Tocco IV both of Colonie; his step grandchildren, Jeff, Dan, Erick, Barlow all of Colonie and John C. Dillon of Albany; his dear brother, Joe Tocco and his wife, Margaret of Florida and his loving sister, Delores Close of Colonie. Several cousins, nieces, nephews, sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law also survive.
