Tony Florio Obituary
Anthony Florio
Resident of San Jose
The man with the biggest heart and biggest smile has moved on. Anthony Florio, also known to his friends & family as "Tony Baloney" died in his home with his wife Becky at his side on Sep. 24th from Amyloidosis.
Born March 21st 1950, Tony graduated from Willow Glen High School in 1968. He was an artistic, creative carpenter, loving husband and father, wonderful cook, loved the game of golf, his garden, and the best friend anyone could ever ask for. Once you met him, you had an instant friend.
He was truly a Renaissance Man. Tony is survived by his wife Becky, beautiful daughter Jessica Emily, sister Rosemarie and brother-in-law John Tumminia, Uncle Babe and many, many cousins and dear friends.
His family would like to thank Kaiser Hospice for their wonderful support and kindness. In lieu of flowers you may donate to their organization.
There will be a celebration of life at the Florio home on Oct. 2nd at 3:00 p.m.
To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

We were tennis buddies. Tony Baloney was a joy to know, and someone who everyone, who crossed his path, had to like, had to love.... without Tony even trying. He was upbeat, fun, a good sport and, in his craft, I know he gave his best and it shined in every project.

Life is eternal, and love is immortal, and death is only a horizon; and a horizon is nothing save the limit of our sight.
Please accept our heartfelt sympathy on the passing of your Love One.

You'll always be "Baby Tony" to me. We just found each other again and I will deeply miss you, your welcoming smile and your GREAT bbq'd chicken. Much too soon, my dear cousin. Love to Becky, Jess and Rosemarie. Love, Bobbi

The 'hood won't be the same without Tony Baloney. We love you and are going to miss you Baloney. With a family he adored and who adored him, and the stories from friends always confirming a full and extremely fun life, I'm sure Tony would say he had a great run. But for us left behind, it is too damn soon. We love you Buck and Jess.
