Date of Birth 4/13/1942- Date of Rest 8/7/2025.
He is preceded in death by his late and first wife Dolly Lopez and his mother Natalie Lopez.
Left to Cherish his memory, his wife of 36 years, Irene Lopez, his children, Maryann, Irene, Denise, his sons Anthony, Jr. and James, 22 grandchildren, 38 great grandchildren and 10 great-great grandchildren and his extended family of Jo, Ray, Fonda, Cheryl and Renee, including 14 additional grandchildren, 21 great grandchildren and 2 great -great grandchildren.
He was a man of grit and grace -- someone who believed in staying strong, not just in body, but in character. He loved karate -- not just the art of it, but the discipline, the focus, the lifelong pursuit of self-improvement. He found joy in working out, in staying active, in pushing himself to stay strong for the people he loved.
But above all else, he loved his family.
