Anthony "Tony" Passilla, Sr.

Anthony "Tony" Passilla Sr., 82, of Meadville, passed away peacefully on September 1, 2024. 

Born on December 23, 1941, a son of the late Tony & Josephine Passilla. 

Tony was a beloved husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather, and friend who left an indelible mark on everyone who knew him.

A skilled toolmaker and proud business owner of Pasco Tool & Plastics, Tony dedicated his life to his craft and built a successful career through hard work and determination. 

Tony's zest for life was evident in everything he did, far beyond the demands of his work. He loved spending his free time on the golf course and sharing a meal and backyard fire with friends and family. He was also an avid gin player, always ready for a game with a smile and a competitive spirit. Tony’s humor and warmth left a lasting impression on those who shared these moments with him, creating memories that will be treasured forever.

Above all, Tony was a devoted family man. He is survived by Cindy, his loving wife of 45 years; his children Steve (Dawn), Karen (Alex), Tony Jr. (Lynette), Michael (Nicole), Jeffrey (Keriann) & Lauren (Kapish); his cherished grandchildren Jackie, Hannah, David, John, Abbey, Abby, Ava, Emma, Mia, Lillyana, Anniston, Suri & Everest; and his beloved dog Vito. Tony’s legacy of love, integrity and perseverance will live on through his family and all who were fortunate enough to know him.

 Private services will be held at a later date for immediate family only.
