Antonio DiFelice Obituary

Antonio "Tony" DiFelice, Jr., aged 70, peacefully passed away at his home in North Tonawanda, New York, on Sunday, March 30, 2025. Surrounded by his loving family and under the compassionate care of Niagara Hospice, he departed this world.
Born on Nov. 29, 1954, in North Tonawanda, Tony was the cherished son of the late Antonio DiFelice and Pearl (Zombotti) DiFelice. Tony dedicated his career to CB Concrete (United Materials) as a dispatcher, where he earned a strong reputation for his dedication and hard work.
Beyond his professional life, he was a passionate hunter and motorcycle enthusiast who deeply valued time spent with family. The memories he created with his wife, children, and grandchildren were particularly precious to him, as were the moments shared with his late father-in-law, Eugene "Gene" Cramer, and mother-in-law, Marilyn Cramer.
He is survived by his devoted wife, Diane M. (Cramer) DiFelice, and his beloved children, Pamela DiFelice, Antonio (Joann Ford) DiFelice, III, Timothy (Ashley Weber) Rafferty, Adam (Miranda) DiFelice, and Kelsey (Derek) Anthony. His siblings, Pearl (the late Michael) Gilmartin, Sally (George) Marks, Cathy (the late Michael) Bonaccorso, and Samuel (Karen) DiFelice, will also fondly remember him. Tony's legacy lives on through his adored grandchildren, Marissa DiFelice, Adison and Lilian Rafferty, Jacob, Dominic, and Elloise DiFelice, as well as Layla, Jaxon, and Vienna Anthony. He is additionally survived by many loving nieces, nephews, cousins and dear friends who will miss him deeply.
Tony will be remembered for his kind heart, bright smile, and the joy he brought to those around him. His legacy of love, laughter, and cherished memories will forever remain in the hearts of all who knew him. As the family gathers to celebrate Tony's life, they invite all who shared in his journey to join them in honoring a life well-lived and a man who was truly loved.
Friends and family are invited to pay their respects on Friday from 3 to 8 p.m. at Wattengel Funeral Home, located at 533 Meadow Drive, North Tonawanda, New York. The funeral service will take place on Saturday at 10 a.m. at the same venue, followed by interment at Acacia Park Cemetery.
