Anthony "Tony" "Pop" Pipitone, 79, of Rosenhayn passed away quietly at home Wednesday morning, May 4, 2011, surrounded by his family.
Born and raised in Rosenhayn, he remained a lifelong Deerfield Township resident. He was the son of the late Marie (Disiata) and Thomas Pipitone. Tony was predeceased by his sister, Jennie Ingraldi, and brothers-in-law, Eugene Dandrea and Mill Wallace.
Before retiring due to his poor health, Tony was employed as the yard manager for his daughter and son-in-law's family-operated R&G Landscape Supply on Landis Avenue. Tony was a farmer until 1982. He also worked for Laury Heating throughout his farming years, before retiring in 1997. He was a member of Parish of the Holy Cross, Church of St. Mary, and was a former member of the Deerfield Township Board of Education, as well as a former township committeeman and mayor of Deerfield Township. Tony enjoyed eating crabs and spaghetti, family gatherings, visiting friends with his puddle jumper, going to the casinos and playing blackjack.
He is survived by his loving wife of 50 years, Katherine (Tobolski); six children, Tom of Vineland, Tony of East Falls, Pa., Steve (Rosemary) of Williamstown, Amy (Bobby) Erianne of Rosenhayn, Caryn (Sam) Regalbuto of Rosenhayn and Dan (Lynn) of South Bound Brook; seven grandchildren, Zachary, Bridget and Daisy Pipitone, Bobby Erianne, Reno and Casey Regalbuto and Isabella Pipitone; four sisters, Josephine Dandrea (Jerry Genova), Marie (Mike) Cerrato, Theresa (Jack) Marandino and Rita Wallace; and brother-in-law, Bob Ingraldi; as well as many nieces, nephews and extended Tobolski family.

Our prayers are with you. Jim remembers meeting him in the diner before work and talking. I remember watching him deliver oil to our house when I was a little girl. Then while working at Laury Heating teasing him that I knew he worked hard by how filthy dirty he was. He teased me he just wore the same clothes from the day before so people would think he worked. Nice guy!
