Anthony John Corvi (Tony), 93 , passed away peacefully surrounded by family at his home in Montauk, New York. Tony was born in East Harlem, New York on August 29 ^th , 1928 to Palmira Corffrini and Guiseppi Corvi of Parma, Italy. He was one of seven children and predeceased by his siblings, five sisters and one brother.

Tony enjoyed a fruitful and productive career spanning more than forty years beginning at Howemedtcal in East Rutherford, New Jersey. He worked through various roles and transitions at the firm – including the company's sale to Pfizer in 1972. Tony married the love of his life, Madeline DeStefano (deceased 2011) and relished 58 years of married life. Madeline and Tony are survived by their three beloved children and their spouses: Donna Corvi and her husband John Papaleo, Doreen Corvi and her husband Randy Miller and John Anthony Corvi and his wife Beth Filback. He was a tender and warm grandfather to 7 grandchildren: Nova D'Innocenzo, Michael Riddles, Benjamin D'Innocenzo, Molly Riddles, Peter Corvi, Ryan Corvi, John Anthony Miller, and a new great-grandfather to Benjamin D'Innocenzo's daughter, Lena Hammel D'Innocenzo.

Tony loved the United States, his country, and his Italian heritage. He appreciated with every ounce of his being the opportunities he was afforded, and all he was able to accomplish, under our nations flag. He was a proud US Army veteran of the Korean War and always welcomed a conversation about service to his country and to his community. An active and devoted Catholic, Tony was a past member of the Catholic War Veterans, the Holy Name Society, the VFW and a parishioner and patron of St Therese of Lisieux Church. He found community through his parish and allowed prayer to shape his life.

Tony enjoyed live music and was a highly accomplished dancer, a passion him and his wife, Madeline, shared all their years together. Jitterbug, swing, polka, pop – he was a master of them all and it was a wonder to watch him practice his well-honed craft. It was impossible for him to hear a musical beat and sit still, music inspired him and perfectly captivated his unabashed zest for life and fun. Bowling, card playing, socializing and gardening were all things he enjoyed on a regular basis for as long as he could.

Our beloved, Tony Corvi, will be remembered for his kindness, generous and bottomless heart, sharp wit, dancing prowess, humor and love for his family.
