Anthony DeSanto Obituary
Tony served honorably in the Army Reserves for five years, where he dedicated himself to his duties and embraced the camaraderie of his fellow reservists. His commitment to service was a significant chapter in his life.
A lifelong sports enthusiast, Tony's passion for the New York Yankees and the New York Giants was unmatched. He found great joy in watching games, a hobby that brought him much happiness throughout his life. Tony loved bird watching, all music and reading books!
Tony was a devoted family man, deeply loved by his daughters, Stephanie, Therese, and Maria, and his grandchildren, Sam, Megan, Grace and Mark Gardner, and Anthony DeSanto. He is also survived by his sister, Catherine Mongillo, and niece and nephews, Dana, Ryan, and JJ Mongillo. He was preceded in death by his parents, Lillian and Alfred DeSanto.
The family will gather to honor and remember Tony at Celentano's Funeral Home in New Haven, CT, on October 10, 2024. Celentano's has been entrusted with the arrangements, ensuring that Tony's farewell is handled with care and respect.

My first memory of meeting Dad, Anthony DeSanto was a beautiful one. First, I met my "unknown BESTIE @ this time" when our Sons, Dominic & Anthony went to Preschool together. From there on we connected & shared this amazing, loving and authentic friendship! Our boys connected and shared a friendship,too.
I guess I'm trying to say, back to meeting Dad ,I could immediately pick up on the amount of unconditional love, support, trust, kindness that was shared between his family and clearly see where his Daughters beautiful character and beautiful heart came from.
My deepest condolences to all.
R.I.P. Mr. Anthony DeSanto
