Anthony Conte Jr Obituary

Anthony Conte Jr. December 8, 1951 – August 11, 2025

Anthony Conte Jr., 73, passed away peacefully on August 11, 2025. Born on December 8, 1951, he was the beloved son of Anthony Conte Sr. and Josephine (Borrelli) Conte.

A devoted father, Tony cherished his daughters Stephanie (Jeremy) Jurek and Valerie (David) Gaines, and found his greatest joy in being “Papa” to his five grandchildren — Ryan, Emily, and Gina Jurek, and Davis and Josie Gaines. He was a dear brother to Susan Grabinski, Sharon Mannella, and John Conte, and a fond uncle and friend to many who will miss his warm smile and generous heart.

In his youth, Tony was a talented gymnast, forging lifelong friendships with his high school coach and teammates. His passion for cars was matched only by his enthusiasm for collecting vintage slot machines, a hobby that brought him great pride. He loved the camaraderie of a good card game with his buddies, and his entrepreneurial spirit shone through in his ventures — from operating Tony’s Hot Dog's to helping run the family trucking business, Tony’s Trucking.

Tony lived a life filled with connection, laughter, and a love for the simple joys — whether behind the wheel of a classic car, dealing a winning hand, or surrounded by friends and family that he loved. His legacy will live on in the countless stories, smiles, and memories he leaves behind.
