Anthony “Tony” J. Sanfelippo

July 29, 1954 - January 24, 2026

Anthony “Tony” J. Sanfelippo – Found peace on January 24, 2026 at the age of 71.

Loving husband of Karen for 29 years, dear father to Anthony and Brad (Kristen) and cherished grandpa to Kadence, Tucker and Anthony. He is further survived by his parents, Joseph and Patsy, his brothers Mike (Kyle), Tom (Shelly), Pete (Mary), Joe (Becky), and Steve (Jeneane), as well as his aunt and many nieces and nephews, cousins, and dear friends.

He was born in Milwaukee, attended Don Bosco High School, and completed some college towards a degree in history. He worked on his family’s sod farm while working at A.O. Smith in quality control. He owned two Christmas tree farms in the northwoods, which besides his family, was his passion in life. He continued working with Christmas trees on his brother’s tree farm. Tony was sweet, tough, compassionate, and realistic. Tony was seen as a big teddy bear and well loved by all of his nieces and nephews and grandchildren. He was often silly, loved “messing around” and had a great sense of humor. He will be greatly missed by everyone who knew him.

A celebration of life to honor Tony will be at a later date.

Captain Pete left a message on February 18, 2026:
I feel fortunate to have been able to get to know Tony, Karen, and the rest of the family when I spent a summer season in Wisconsin and many times when he and Karen would visit Mike in Florida. I have always enjoyed the conversations we had. He treated me very well. It was very apparent how much he cared about his family and friends. I have some good memories of sitting around Mikes back yard with the family and always have a lot of appreciation when he would help me find parts when I needed them up in Milwaukee. He and the rest of the family made me feel at home while I was up there. My condolences to all of you. He was a great person and will be missed. Sincerely, Captain Pete
