ANTHONY LORDI Obituary

LORDI, Anthony "Roxy" Passed away at home on July 13, 2022, at the age of 94, formerly of Bronx, NY. Beloved husband of the late Frances "Chick" Lordi; and beloved father of the late Loretta Lordi; he is survived and loved by his son Robert; daughter-in-law Paula; and grandchildren Robert, Hannah and Jack Lordi of Dover, MA. He was described as "one of a kind," and a friend to all people and animals who knew him. A quiet gentleman with a youthful sense of humor, he was a pleasure to be around. He was vibrant and healthy until recently, and he credited a love of good food and staying active for keeping him fit. Roxy was a jack of all trades, among them were clothing tailor, truck driver, oil deliverer, restaurant owner, muffler repair, and in retirement, a security guard at a local hospital. In his 20's he earned his nickname that followed him throughout his life when he worked at the "Roxy" in New York. A Visiting Hour will be held at the Church of the Most Precious Blood, 30 Center St., Dover on Tuesday, July 19 at 10:00 AM with a Mass to follow at 11:00 AM. Friends and relatives are kindly invited. Interment will be held with family at Ferncliff Cemetery in Hartsdale, NY at a later date. In lieu of flowers, the family has requested that remembrances be made in Anthony's name to a cause your family supports.
