Tony was born on March 19th, 1940, to Anthony and Mary (Pecoraro) Pagano in Rochester, NY.

A special thanks to his caregivers (Norma, Kim, Clara, Rasheda, Lisa and Alyssa), Mike Linder (VA Nurse), and his friends at The Villages at Unity for making his last couple of years some of the best. Your kindness and compassion did not go unnoticed, as Tony knew just how loved he was.
