Anthony M. Rispoli, a beloved husband, father, grandfather, and cherished member of the Kinnelon community, passed away on June 19, 2025, after a short illness. Born on January 2, 1942, in Newark, New Jersey, Anthony dedicated over 45 fulfilling years to his own accounting practice, where he became known for his diligence, integrity, and sincere commitment to excellence.

A devoted family man, Anthony was married for 58 wonderful years to his loving wife, Lorraine (LaCapra). Together, they built a life filled with laughter, support, and unconditional love. Their bond was a testament to partnership in every sense, inspiring their children and grandchildren alike.

Anthony took immense pride in his role as a father to Frances (Robert) Ferucci , Anthony (Bernadette) and Marc , nurturing them with care and wisdom. His legacy continues through his grandchildren—Cristina, Bobby, Anthony, Olivia, Nick, Addison, and Marc—who fondly remember his playful spirit and kindhearted nature. He was a great provider for his family, always putting their needs ahead of his own and showing them the depths of love through his actions.

In addition to his professional accomplishments, Anthony cherished moments spent on the golf course, relaxing at Long Beach Island with his family, and enjoying sunny days at the beach. His warmth resonated with everyone he met, and his joy was often found in the simple pleasures of life—being surrounded by family and friends brought him unparalleled happiness.

As a dedicated parishioner and usher at Our Lady of Magnificat Church in Kinnelon, New Jersey, Anthony's faith was an essential part of his identity. His commitment to his community mirrored his character; he touched so many lives with his kindness and generosity.

The visitation for Anthony will be held at The Morrison Etheridge Funeral Home, Inc. in Butler, NJ, on June 22, 2025, from 3:00 PM to 7:00 PM. His family invites friends and loved ones to celebrate his life during a mass at Our Lady of The Magnificat RC Church in Kinnelon, NJ, on June 23, 2025, at 10:00 AM.

As we gather to remember Anthony M. Rispoli, let us carry forward his spirit of love, resilience, and commitment to family. His memory will forever remain in the hearts of those who were fortunate enough to know him.
