Anthony "Tony" Joseph Potenza, 73 of Port St. Lucie, Florida passed away Friday, May 17, 2024 at home surrounded by family.
Tony was born September 2, 1950 in Scranton, Pennsylvania to Michael A. and Marie N. Potenza. He was a graduate of Bishop Egan High School in Levittown, PA. He received his Bachelor's Degree from Rider College, now Rider University, in Lawrence Township, New Jersey.
Tony was owner of Davis Distributing, a food and paper purveyor in Fort Lauderdale, Florida for over 40 years. Through Davis he developed many friends along the way. He retired in 2020 and moved to Port St. Lucie three years ago coming from Davie, Florida.
Tony had been an active member of Saint David Catholic Church in Davie where he was very active in their carnivals. He took great pleasure in helping to contribute to its success.
He was also a lifelong fan of Philadelphia Eagles and Philadelphia Phillies. Tony took a lot of pride in his teams, win or lose but his biggest pride was his "hon bun", Amanda. Tony also was a big fan of Saint Thomas Aquinas High School where one of his greatest pleasures was to cheer the team and watch Amanda on the field with color guard.
Tony and Pat enjoyed their many vacations over the years and the time they spent on golf courses around the country.
Surviving Tony are his wife of 50 years, Patricia "Pat" A.; daughter and son-in-law, Amanda and Daniel; other family members include John Caselli and wife, Lita and Robert Potenza and wife Patricia. He is also survived by a nephew Todd and his family in Langhorne, Pennsylvania.
