It is with great sadness and a heavy heart, that the Graziano family announces the loss of Anthony "Tony" Graziano, of Randolph, formerly of Braintree, who passed away suddenly on Tuesday, March 11, 2025, at the Milton Hospital, at the age of 80, after unrelated complications to his long and courageous battle with Parkinson's Disease.
Born in Weymouth on May 4, 1944, Tony was the fourth born to the late Anthony and Mary A. (Gerrior) Graziano of Braintree. Tony lived most of his life with his late wife Eileen, in Braintree, where they raised their 5 children.
Tony was known for being a loving father but also had a strong work ethic as well. In his early years, Tony worked at Michigan Abrasives in Braintree, then later moved on to work at General Dynamics in Quincy. He then went on to work at Harvard Health in Braintree for over 30 years as well as at South Shore Hospital in Weymouth.
In his free time collected a long list of hobbies he enjoyed. He was an avid record collector and could sing along to his favorite tunes so beautifully. His love of music and singing was apparent by everyone who knew him. Tony also held great appreciation and enjoyment for his many motorcycles over the years, as well as spending time outside and going out walking. He will be remembered not only for the love he leaves behind but the many characteristics that will always remind us of him.
Anthony was the husband of the late Eileen (Richardson) Graziano. Loving father of Anthony Graziano, Jr. of Holbrook, Mary Tocci and her husband Brent of Abington, Theresa Brodie and her late husband David of Holbrook, David Graziano and his wife Joelle of Braintree, and Michael Graziano of Weymouth.
Tony was the devoted brother of Frank Graziano and his wife Catherine of Braintree, Angelina Goulart of Brockton, Alexander and his wife Diane of East Bridgewater, Mary Ann Graziano of TX, Gerald Graziano of Braintree, Joan Mitchell of Braintree, Roseanne Scully and her husband John of Wareham, and the late Michael Graziano.
Also survived by 11 grandchildren, 1 great granddaughter, and many beloved nieces and nephews.
Tony was beloved by all and will be greatly missed by his surviving family members and all those who knew him.
