Anthony John Stellato

Anthony John Stellato, age 77, of Miller Place, New York, passed away peacefully on Thursday, December 19, 2024. A devoted husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, and friend, Anthony will be remembered for his love of family, his generous spirit, and his enduring devotion to his faith.

Known for what seemed to be an eidetic memory, Anthony could recall information with remarkable precision—right down to the exact page and placement of text. He had a deep fondness for poetry and found beauty in the written word. Additionally, Anthony was a proud member of the Knights of Columbus, having attained his 4th Degree, reflecting his commitment to charitable works and spiritual dedication.

Anthony is survived by his beloved wife, Irene Stellato; his sons, Anthony Stellato (Lisa), John Stellato, and Louis Stellato; and his cherished grandchildren, Victoria, Brooklyn, Anthony, Kamryn, Louis, and Nicholas. He is also survived by his brother, Lawrence; his sister, Francine; and his many nieces and nephews—Eric, Nicholas, Jacqueline, Alexandra, Kim, Kathy, and Kristy—who all loved and admired him deeply. Anthony was preceded in death by his brother, Louis, whose memory he carried close to his heart.
