Anthony Cordaro Memoriam
Anthony J Cordaro
01/10/1924 - 04/21/1988
A World War II Vet, devoted husband and father,
and friend to many,
He will forever be remembered for his big heart,
his honor and integrity.
He was a proud man with a quick temper,
but was witty and charismatic.
He was often temperamental but compassionate.
Big Tony was a good businessman with a sharp mind.
He was admired and respected by his peers
and many of his loyal customers.
He worked hard to support his wife & six kids
and put them all through college.
Dad could sing like Pavarotti and Caruso, and had
many heroes like Dimaggio, Lombardi, and Marciano,
and was a huge fan of Frank Sinatra.
He was a good family man , sometimes tough,
but most always fair.
Mr A. J. (as called by many) loved his country
and was very proud of his Italian heritage.
But most importantly he loved God,
his wife Jean, his sons, and his daughters.
We miss you and will never forget you!
Jean, Bubba, Mike, Emile, Kathy, Julie
& Chris (RIP)

The Final Salute
Brothers in Arms, Military men and women down through the centuries, have traditionally exchanged Hand Salutes as a sign of recognition and as a way to render courtesy and respect one to another.
Although many years after his passing this Hand Salute is rendered to Anthony J. (A.J.) Cordaro our Brother-in-Arms. To his family it symbolizes the love and respect that we have for A.J.. To A.J. it is rendered as a symbol of honor and gratitude to thank him for the devoted and selfless service he rendered to his country during WW-II while serving in the U.S. Armed Forces. A.J., we commend you for your honorable service. You are a true patriot, who served with honor and distinction. You upheld the finest qualities of an American patriot warrior: courage, commitment, generosity, sacrifice, love and devotion to family and country. You were a true friend. We bid you a sad farewell. You will be dearly missed from among our ranks. Be at Ease. Rest in Peace.
On behalf of the 961 military veteran Legionnaires of Lowe-McFarlane Post 14 of the American Legion and the 233 veterans of VFW Post 2238 in Shreveport, Louisiana, we extend our sympathies and our condolences to A.J.'s family and loved ones.
