Anthony Aguanno Founder of Denville Seafood and 'jack of all trades' Anthony Aguanno passed away peacefully, surrounded by his family, in the comfort of his home, on Thursday, Sept. 21, 2017. He was 92 years young. Public visitation will be held on Monday, Sept. 25, from 2 to 4 and 7 to 9 p.m., at Norman Dean Home for Services, 16 Righter Ave., Denville, N.J. 07834. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Tuesday, Sept, 26, at 10 a.m., at St. Mary's R.C. Church, 15 Myers Ave., Denville. Burial will follow at Denville Cemetery, Denville. Born in Palermo, Sicily, to the late Giuseppe and Maria, Anthony and his family came to the U.S. through Ellis Island when he was two years old. Growing up, Anthony was an avid roller-skater and had a love of airplanes. He proudly served our country in the U.S. Army Air Corps during World War II. After being discharged, he attended Albright College in Pennsylvania before meeting his soulmate, Ann Georgia. In 1951, they opened Denville Seafood as a small fish market that has expanded to include Codmother's Cafe, a fixture in our town. Although Anthony loved his fish store, he had many hobbies, including gardening, fishing, golfing, running, and flying planes. Anthony was the jack of all trades - there wasn't anything he couldn't accomplish once he put his mind to it. He was a member of Indian Lake Community Club, St. Mary's Church, and VFW 2519. He was a hard-working, funny, and caring man, husband, father, grandfather, and friend who will never be forgotten. Tony was predeceased by his beloved wife, Ann, in 2001, and his brother, Vincent "Jimmy." Left to keep his legacy alive are his loving children, Mary (Andres) Aguanno-Pustroem, Joseph (Terry) Aguanno, and Amy (Jeffry) McEntee, along with his cherished grandchildren, Michael Pustroem, Adam and Emily Aguanno, and Annabel and Jillian McEntee. Anthony is also survived by many nieces, nephews, and friends. Memorial donations are being accepted by Paws and Stripes by way of inmemoryof-memorial.org.
