Anthony F. Verde

Anthony F. Verde also known as Tony, age 74, passed away peacefully on Tuesday February 20th, 2024 at his beautiful home in Massapequa, NY. He was born January 14th, 1950 in Portici, Napoli, to Saverio and Anna Verde. He married Serafina Fiorentino on September 1st, 1984, in Astoria, NY. He worked as a taxi-driver in New York City for 10 years where he owned his own medallion. He was also a painter, an exterminator, an author, a songwriter, a pizzaiolo, as well as a homeowner and a landlord. On top of that, Tony proudly served in the United States Marines for six years. In addition, he was a retired mailman for the U.S. Postal Service in Queens.  Lastly, and most rewarding, Tony was a caregiver for his two grandchildren, Santino (6) and Dante (4) LiBassi. He lived life to the fullest through simple pleasures. He enjoyed any time spent with family and friends, traveling to Italy, and especially time spent with his grandchildren. Tony had an uncanny ability to reach people through his stories and was always the life of the party.  He will be remembered as a positive, humble, loving, family-oriented, hard-working, selfless man who was full of wisdom. He is survived by his wife, Serafina, brothers (Giuseppe, Antimo, Ciro, and Saverio), daughters Anna and Giuseppina, son-in-law, Justin, and grandchildren, Santino and Dante LiBassi. We would like to honor his deceased mother Anna Verde, his father Saverio Verde, and his sister Elena Chiaramonte. Family, friends and any others whose lives Tony touched are invited to Charles G. Schmitt Funeral Home, 3863 Merrick Rd, Seaford, NY from 2-4 pm and 7-9 pm on Friday, February 23, 2024, to reminisce, grieve, and support each other.
