July 15, 1935 – October 12, 2025

Anthony Alexander “Tony” Addesso, 90, of Ballston Spa, New York, passed away peacefully on October 12, 2025. A beloved husband, father, brother, and friend, Tony will be remembered for his quiet strength, steadfast character, and deep devotion to his family.

Born on July 15, 1935, in Jersey City, New Jersey, Tony was the son of the late Vincent and Katherine Addesso. Growing up in a large family, he learned early the value of hard work, loyalty, and humility—principles that guided him throughout his ninety years.

Tony married his best friend and the love of his life, Jean, with whom he shared seventy wonderful years of marriage. Together, they raised their three children, Thomas, Patricia, and Vicki, who will always cherish their father’s wisdom, steady presence, and unconditional love.

Known for being a quiet soul who always made his thoughts known, Tony’s calm demeanor was matched by an impeccable work ethic and a generous heart. He had a soft spot for animals and shared a special bond with his beloved dog, Shadow, who brought him endless joy.

Tony is survived by his devoted wife, Jean; his children, Thomas Addesso, Patricia Addesso, and Vicki Dodd; his son-in-law, Gregory Dodd; and his grandchildren, Craig Addesso and Kelsey Dodd, who meant the world to him. He is also survived by his siblings, Dennis Addesso, Carol Chernago, and Catherine Addesso. He was predeceased by his parents, Vincent and Katherine, and his siblings, Jean Clifton, Vincent Addesso, and Robert Addesso.

Tony’s life was one of quiet integrity, deep love, and simple joys. His memory will live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved him.
