GENEVA/LAKELAND FL– Anthony "Tony" Vincent Sindoni, 72, of Lakeland, Florida passed away unexpectedly on September 24, 2023.

Born on March 4, 1951, Tony grew up and attended high school in Geneva, New York. Following high school, Tony enlisted in the United States Army in 1969 and proudly served his country until his retirement in 1998. During his 25+ year career in the military, Sergeant First Class Sindoni earned many commendations from his superiors, including medals for Army Achievement, National Defense Service, and the Good Conduct Medal to name a few. Tony was a part of the 101st and 82nd Airborne Division as well as the 4th Ranger Training Brigade and 75th Infantry. With over 1000+ jumps as a paratrooper and master parachutist, Tony became an instructor for both the Ranger and SERE Schools. Following his honorable military career, Tony served as the general manager for the Microtel Inn & Suites in Seneca Falls, N.Y. before retiring to Florida and marrying his wife, Brenda. Tony enjoyed sipping on his coffee, cooking for others, and the quiet life. He could often be found outside whistling a tune while tending to all of his plants and trees, acquiring quite the green thumb over the years. While he loved crunching on potato chips watching old-time movies, Secretariat and Maverick seemed to always find a way to the screen.

Anthony is predeceased by his parents, John (Snowball) Sindoni and Mary Sindoni (Venise); and his brother, Samuel Sindoni.

He is survived by his wife, Brenda Sindoni (McCann); his children, Matthew (Megan) Sindoni, Kimberly Sindoni-Bazdaric, Melissa (Daniel) Bussius, Larissa Sindoni, Billie Jo McCann, Ashley (Tyrone) Carter, Amber (Eric) Oberdorf, and Robert Rickerson; 10 grandchildren; brothers John "Gigi" (Daryl) Sindoni and Francis (Lisa) Sindoni; sisters Roseanne (Michael) Baroody and Mary (Jeff) Byrne; several in-laws, nieces and nephews, and extended family and friends.

Services will be held at the Gentry-Morrison Funeral Home, 3350 Mall Hill Dr, Lakeland, FL at 11 a.m. on Tuesday, October 10, 2023.

I have been with Anthony since we were 4yrs old.I always referred to Anthony as my big brother, he was a March baby and me April. I nick named him Elvis because he looked like Elvis Presley when he had longer hair. Anthony was a great catcher in baseball and a good wrestler. He was the best and what I am most proud of Anthony for was his dedication to serving our country. Our childhood and life were filled with many great stories chapters. I will always have Anthony in a safe place in my heart and we will start new chapters when we see each other again. Love you Brother Snowball!! Ray Ciancaglini

One of the stars of the State street neighborhood. We had quite a big family of kids getting chased off the street almost everyday playing ball.
I commend you my brother for your service to our country.
My sincere condolence to your family.

Thank you for serving our country all those years Uncle Tony. We may not have had many memories together while I was growing up, but I was always proud to tell people of your service. And I was always happy to have your middle name as my first. I know you are with Dad, and Grandma Mary and Grandpa John. My heart goes out to the rest of the family. I love you all...
