Antonio Buonopane Obituary

Antonio (Tony) Buonopane, 82, passed away on Wednesday, April 19, 2023, in Mirabella Eclano, Italy. Born in Mirabella Eclano on April 10, 1941, Antonio became an accountant and commercial expert and eventually moved to the United States where he raised his family. When he retired from Northeast Utilities after more than 35 years of service, he moved back to his hometown of Mirabella. He would often travel between Italy and the United States, as both were his home. He was an award winning bowler and had a zealous passion for beating the odds at the casino. Tony had an immense passion for life, especially for music, photography, good food and his beloved family. He was passionate about animals and saved so many over his lifetime. He was an amazing singer and an incredible photographer. He saw beauty everywhere. He is survived by his loving wife, Nancy, devoted children; daughter Monica and husband Matthew of Middletown, CT, son Michael and wife Paula of Wethersfield CT, son Daniel and wife Tammy of Marlborough CT, daughter Crystal and husband Steve of Delran, NJ, 6 grandchildren, 1 great grandchild and numerous family and friends. His enthusiasm for life and ability to make friends with random people he met will be greatly missed in this world. Tony would light up a room wherever he went. He loved his family with all his heart and his passing has left an immense void. He will be loved and missed forever. A memorial mass will be held at 10 am on Saturday, June 24, 2023, at St. Patrick's/St. Anthony's Church, at 285 Church Street, Hartford, CT. 06103

We were saddened to learn of Tony´s passing. Dave worked with Tony at NU. I met Tony when he was the photographer at two of our children´s weddings. He was a very kind and talented man. Our sincere sympathy and prayers to his family. Dave&Catherine Noble

Monica, Michael and Danny. My memory of your Father began with a meeting in your Hang Dog Lane kitchen when Monica told your Dad that I had asked Monica to marry me. Needless to say, our first meeting was a little tenuous. But over the years your father and I developed deep respect and love for each other. I was proud to call him my father-in-law and friend. And I was proud to stand as his best man to his beautiful and amazing "jersey girl" wife, Nancy. I am deeply saddened by your loss but am proud of the three beautiful children he raised to carry on his legacy and memory. My prayer are with you. Jim

I really don't know where to start.
Uncle, it's been almost two months since you left, and still for me and for all those who knew you, it doesn't seem real, but just a bad dream.
You were a person with great charisma, a great father, a great friend, a man who was able to make everyone love you, with your great kindness and humanity.
Now that you're not here it's really difficult to fill this void, and like the important people in my family, you will remain there in my heart, halfway between the sadness (of not seeing or hearing from you) and the happiness and gratitude of having had the opportunity to share with you a piece of my journey.
You marked my life and that of many people...
Now rest in peace, in God's love ... we will continue to love you here and try to find the beautiful side of things, as you always did ...
I'll sing you a song... the one you always sang for me...

Te vojo bene assaje, ma tanto tanto bene saje, è 'na catena ormai, che scioglie 'o sang dint'e vene...

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

It was an honor to have met Tony my best friend Monica´s dad for over 30 years. Lots of found memories in the US and Italy. I will always remember his beautiful singing accent and his gorgeous smile.
