ANTHONY BECCARELLI Memoriam

BECCARELLI, ANTHONY S. May 16, 1948 to April 26, 2012 Anthony S. (Tony) Beccarelli was a California native, born in 1948 to David and Joyce Beccarelli. The family moved to San Diego in 1954, where Tony was a proud Kearney High Komet graduate, class of '66. He put himself through San Diego State. Tony went on to graduate from California Western School of Law and passed the California Bar Exam in 1973. He became a Certified Family Law Specialist and practiced law for 39 years. He was well liked and a respected member of the San Diego legal community. In 1980, he married his wife, Michele, and together they dedicated their lives to raising 3 sons: Andrew, Brian, and Mike. Tony was an avid reader, western movie enthusiast, and a San Diego sports fan, who never missed his sons' athletic events. His love of travel took Tony and his family across the US and Europe. He enjoyed good food and good times hanging out with life long friends, the "Kearney Boys." Tony was known for his quick wit, his constant jokes, and his good advice. He was a dedicated professional and a devoted family man. Tony is survived by his wife, 3 sons, Aunt Genia, and siblings Steve, Judy, and Tim. Service is May 19th at 12pm at El Camino Memorial Park, Sorrento Valley.

Dear Michelle, Tony handled a case for me way back in 1973, think it was one of his first cases. He was a friend of my Husband, Tom, who was an Area Commander with the CHP, and represented him in Court. Tom died in 2015. Tony was a truly a gentleman and an astute attorney. We attended your wedding and I still remember it well. Instead of typical Richard Wagner's Wedding March you used Beethoven's "Ode to Joy", such a beautiful and truly happy beginning. We talked about Tony many times in our 62 years together and referred him over and over. My heart goes out to you. Roberta

Dear Mikki and boys.....Tony led by example to his family, colleagues, and friends. His loyalty and humor will live with us forever. As those who have passed before us, he will be in our hearts everyday. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family.

Tony, you were always good to me. Your family will always be part of my formative years as a coach and I am lucky to have known you. Thanks for all our talks and laughs on the Poway pool deck. You, Michelle, and the boys (now men) are in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Michelle and boys. I was a collogue in law with Tony for many years. I handled his family law appeals. I attended the service today but did not have the opportunity to speak with you. I want to let you know what a fine person and lawyer he was, My heart goes out to you. (Michelle we met years ago in Olivehein at a party at Micky's ___house. I can't remember his last name this moment.) Tony was a straight shooter and he will be missed. Steve Temko

Dear Michelle and Family,
I was so saddened to hear of Tony's passing. I always enjoyed talking to him at the boys' water polo games. I know there are no words that can make it any easier, but when i lost Phil, it helped knowing that others cared. You are in my prayers. Call me if you would like to talk to someone whose been there.

Tony was two years older than me. We went to Taft and Kearny at the same time. I think every girl had a crush on him! Cute and nice on top of that! We did cross paths one time when I called his law office. It seems he had a good life. My deepest sympathies to his family and friends...

Tony was my attorney when I got my divorce. He was highly recommended to me. He was a very caring person, sometimes he would tell me what his children and wife were up to, and he would just smile from ear to ear. He was very proud of his family. Your family will be in my prayers.

Even though I didnt know you that well, I do remember you from high school. I wish your family well. I know you will be missed by all. RIP Guy, Kathy Fuller

Tony was great gut and great friend. I knew Tony all the way back to 7th grade and I always respected Tony. I was a skinny toehead back then but also a tough guy but Tony was always my friend and I never remember getting mad at him. Rest in Peace old friend.

Tim, I am so sad about the loss of your brother Tony. I know my brother Eddie talked to you, but I have no way of contacting you. Both of our families have had a great deal of loss. I will be praying for all of you.

Tony was a good friend, colleague, and my lawyer through the years. I, too, was shocked to hear of his passing. I remember when he was our teacher assistant prior to going to law school and the crazy time in San Felipe when he stuck his new volkswagon bug in the sand. He was not a happy camper! His wit is well known. I sure will miss him and I pray for his family in these difficult times.

We were shocked and saddened to learn that Tony had left us. I remember so fondly the times we all had after high school. Tony was the funniest, glibest guy I've ever known. My love and prayers are with Mickie and the boys. -Sharon McQueen (Chrisman)

Tony My Friend,
Yes I go way back with you,when you were with the DA's Office then you and some of your fellows left to set up that fine practice in the Hancock Bldg - it was a big hit, as you guys took the heart out of the DA's Office when you left.
I too recall when that heart of yours skipped a few beat, but you it seemed have gotten some good times from it since that issue.
Tony you can now kick back, as your not going to have works any more disputes, as your now at peace here after
Enjoyed you here on earth & now will be accepting you as one of my Angels / Thanks
