Antonio Sandalo
April 7, 1977 — November 24, 2024
Antonio Cosmo Sandalo, known to his friends and family as Anthony, passed away at home on November 24, 2024, at the age of 47. He was born on April 7, 1977, to the late Anthony P. Sandalo and Marcena Simpson Sandalo.
A proud graduate of Rippowam High School in 1994, Anthony went on to establish and successfully operate Sandalo Mechanical for 19 years, earning the respect and admiration of all who worked with him. A gifted musician and artist, Anthony's talents were only outshined by his deep passion for motorcycles and motocross. He dedicated much of his life to traveling across the country with his sons, who competed in motocross events.
Anthony's presence was larger than life. His infectious smile could light up any room, and his quick wit and storytelling made him the life of any gathering. He had a generous spirit, always ready to lend a hand to a friend in need, and above all, he treasured his family. His wife, Nicole Samela Sandalo, and their two sons, Antonio Nicholas, and Luca Michael, were his world, and his love for them was immeasurable.
In addition to his wife and children, Anthony is survived by his sister, Lisa Sandalo; his brother, Paul Sandalo and wife; and his mother, Marcena Sandalo, as well as several nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his father, Anthony P. Sandalo.
