Anthony F. LoDolce "Tony"

Anthony Frank LoDolce was born December 6, 1957 in Rochester, NY. He passed away peacefully, with his wife and family by his side, on Monday, January 1, 2024 after a courageous battle with cancer. Tony is predeceased by his parents, James and Antoinette Adam; sister, Cynthia Fox; father-in-law, James M. Cassidy and brother-in-law, William J. Cassidy. Anthony is survived by his loving wife, Darlene; his sons, Daniel (Allison) LoDolce and AJ Adam; siblings, James and Roxanne LoDolce; brother-in-law, Steve Fox; step-children, Rachael (Billy) Dolan, Ralph and Justin Guary; grandchildren, Carter, Bryce, Billy and Jax Dolan and Zoey Lodolce; mother-in-law, Alice C. Cassidy; brothers-in-law, James (Claudia), Richard, Daniel and Thomas Cassidy; along with many nieces, nephews, cousins, loyal friends and extended family members. Tony and Darlene originally met at a dance while in middle school and became each other’s first boyfriend and girlfriend. Their lives took them on different paths until many years later when Tony moved back to Rochester and they reconnected and fell in love. Darlene and Tony got married on May 27, 2023. Tony served in the Army from 1976-79 and later retired from the US Post Office. He had several side businesses over the years, including a pool business, LoDolce Limousine Service, LoDolce Café and a scuba diving business. Before coming to Rochester, Tony worked as a drug and alcohol counselor for the VA in San Diego. He really enjoyed giving back and helping veterans. Tony was truly a jack of all trades. There was seemingly nothing he couldn’t fix and he was always willing to try. One of his favorite hobbies was working on his 1957 Chevy that he gifted to his son, Danny, as his first car. They continued to work on the car until Tony’s passing. Tony’s forever passion was to ride his Harley-Davidson motorcycle and travel around the United States. Eventually he became a member of the Lords Motorcycle Club, where he instantly became a “Lords Brother”. One of Tony’s accomplishments that he was most proud of was to be knighted and was awarded the 32nd degree Master Mason and Shriner. Tony is remembered for his willingness to help anyone that asked, and even those who didn’t. He was a loving husband, his sons’ best friend, devoted papa and family to anyone that had the fortune of knowing him. The world lost Anthony too soon, but we are comforted that he is no longer in pain. He will be remembered fondly and with love. Family and friends are invited to Tony’s Funeral Mass at St. Pius Tenth Church, 3000 Chili Avenue Rochester, NY 14624 on Thursday, January 11, 2024 at 10am. In lieu of flowers, memorials in Tony’s name may be made to the American Lung Association.
