Tony was a lifelong resident of Newburgh, NY.
Tony attended Liberty Street Elementary School (also known as PS 96), South Jr.and North Jr. High, Cornwall Central High School and graduated from Newburgh Free Academy (NFA) in 1985.
He excelled in electronics and was a member of the NFA Electronics team as well as the NFA track team where he set records in pole vaulting.
Tony was also an artist and drew exceptionally well, although he rarely did. Tony also dabbled in automotive repair, solar energy and was a home restoration enthusiast. He and his sisters would often attend flea markets and especially antique shops for hidden gems that they could restore and show off.
Tony worked for Price Chopper Supermarket (Market 32) in the town of Newburgh for over 21 years as a butcher. He also worked for Tarkett Inc., IBM of East Fishkill, Champion International Paper Division formerly of Walden, NY Ettie's of Newburgh, NY and several other jobs while living in Florida and NY.
Tony was the very best friend to so many people, one cannot even count them, as it would be like trying to count the stars. He was always willing to help someone out, someone down or someone in a fix.
Even in death Tony was selfless, he was an organ donor and because of his gift we are told that up to 100 people will benefit. We are eternally proud of him.
He leaves behind his broken hearted family:
His mother Lucille Peroni of Modena, NY. (Lucille Plemmons)
Brother John Joseph Marullo Jr. of California
Sisters Laura Elizabeth Gilmore of Arizona and
Roberta Marullo Kratochwil and David R. Kratochwil of Modena, NY
massively proud uncle to:
Stephanie Lynn Gilmore
Jessica Ann Gilmore and
Cole Dominic Marullo
Dozens of Aunts, Uncles and cousins.
He is pre-deceased by his father John J. Marullo Sr. and brother in law Gary F. Gilmore.
Tony was devoted to his family and to his rescue pets which he affectionately called his 'children'.
Tony was also deeply devoted to his soul mate Laura-
She was his friend, compadre, confidant, side kick, two peas in a pod - they were all these things and more.
Their paths crossed and were forever intertwined- in what they believed to be a gift from God himself - destined to find two people who didn't know what they didn't have until the two pieces became one.
It has been said that we all live under the same sky, but we don't see the same light. He was her light, and she was his.
It is our greatest consolation that Tony was so very happy when he left us. We thank God everyday that Laura came into his life.
