Anthony was born in Passaic, NJ to Caroline “Chubby” and Anthony “Sonny” Coronato, Sr on October 19, 1949. He went to school in Sparta, NJ. He married Karen Simko on June 7, 1975, in Pompano Beach, FL. He worked as an MRI Technician. He was a veteran of the Vietnam War and served in the Army as a Paratrooper. He was a very charismatic man, who loved his family with all his heart and enjoyed making them laugh. He loved to watch classic movies and tv shows but did not want you touching his remote control. He was a very good man who enjoyed gambling. He liked to play “Let it Ride” and loved scratch-off tickets. He liked to watch football and wear his Dolphins jersey when they played. He liked good cream puffs, a good cup of coffee, an occasional vodka and cranberry, and hot dogs from Costco.
Anthony is preceded in death by Chubby and Sonny.
