Anthony J. Furlo passed away Sunday, April 26, 2020, peacefully at his home after a lengthy illness, at the age of 95. Born February 28, 1925, to his loving parents Pietro and Mary Furlo in Chicago, Illinois, Anthony “Tony” Furlo spent almost his entire life in Saginaw, Michigan. He attended St. Andrew's Elementary School, Arthur Hill High School, and after school, joined the United States Army during World War II. Upon completion of his service to our country, he spent most of his career as a Metropolitan Insurance Company agent. Tony was a past member of the Lions Club and Sons of Italy.
He is survived by his sisters, Helen (Furlo) Perry and Rose (Furlo) Pilditch; and his brother, Orlando “Londy” Furlo.

He was preceded in death by his parents; loving sister, Angeline (Furlo) Wickham; loving half-sisters, Margaret Bragg, Marie Gerasi, Carmella Ciserano; and half-brother James Adolfino.
Tony would also want us to recognize his wonderful care givers whom he cherished. For their excellent service, his family greatly appreciates Shirley, Kimberly, Shelley, Martina, Tieeshu, and Connie, who loved and cared for him for many years.

My condolences go out to the family of Tony! I remember Tony back in the 70’s & 80’s when he use to go eat at a restaurant I worked at in Saginaw “El Gallito’s” Tony loved mexican food. He was such a kind & thoughtful & cheerful man. I have so many memories of Tony just from the restaurant. It’s been so many yrs since I e seen Tony aster I left the restaurant but he lived a very long life & I’m so happy that he did. Tony you have gained your wings & now may you rest peacefully. You will never be forgotten to all those who loved & knew you. My prayers go out to all his family & friends. RIH Tony innocentheartpray
