Anthony "Tony" Andrew DeFusco

Anthony Andrew “Tony” DeFusco, age 90, passed away peacefully on November 7, 2026, surrounded by his loving family and friends.

Born on November 22, 1935, in Bridgeport, Pennsylvania, Tony was the youngest of ten children to the late Bernard and Catherine (LaBella) DeFusco and a first generation American. Tony was the beloved husband of the late Ingrid Isle Marie Burkert DeFusco. He is survived by his only son, Anthony William DeFusco (and spouse Mary), as well as his two grandchildren, Abigail and Andrew, and many extended family members and friends who loved him dearly.

Tony proudly served in the U.S. Army, where he discovered his gift for electronics and went on to build a career as an electrical technician. After marrying the love of his life, Ingrid, the couple set off on an adventure to Madagascar, where he worked at a NASA tracking station. Following the birth of their son, they returned to the United States, and in 1980 they settled into their dream home on Singer Island, Florida, where Tony lived for the rest of his life. After retirement, he pursued his lifelong ambition to learn to fly planes and got his pilot’s license at the age of 80. He was active in his church and was a wonderful neighbor who was always ready with a helping hand for anyone in need. Tony will be remembered for his genuine nature, his outgoing personality, and the stories he loved to share with everyone around him.
