ANTHONY GAMBONE Obituary
Along with his brothers Joe and Jack, he founded Gambone Brothers Construction Company in 1958. Over a career that spanned more than fifty years in residential, commercial and industrial land development, they established a reputation among the top echelon of Montgomery County developers.
In 1983 Anthony rushed into a burning home to rescue a child and was honored by Governor Dick Thornburgh for his heroism. In 1995 Anthony and his brothers were named the Central Montgomery County Chamber of Commerce Citizens of the Year for creating hundreds of jobs. He and his brothers supported the Montgomery Hospital Hospice and the American Heart Association, hosting annual charity events.
He lived for his children and grandchildren, farm and business. He loved the art of making deals, golfing and the races. He is remembered by many as a passionate businessman, compassionate husband, father, grandfather and friend.
In addition to his wife, Anthony is survived by his 4 children; Jeanne Gambone of King of Prussia, Linda Meixner and her husband Carl of Worcester, Anthony Gambone, Jr. and his wife Dina of Audubon and Michael Gambone and his wife Kirsten of Worcester, his 9 grandchildren; Venessa, Christina, Jaime, Robert, Steven, Anthony III, Dominic, Gianna and Sofia, 7 great grandchildren and his sisters Jane Hanson and Sandy Sheehan. He was preceded in death by his 4 brothers and 3 sisters.

Tony didn't forget to stay in touch, and always made you feel like a special friend. He generously shared his wisdom, time, energy and warmth. I had just the best time taking him to a horse auction! Its a day I won't forget.
Here's to Tony! May we all take the best of what he meant to us, and make it our own.
With deep sympathy for your loss,
