Anthony "Tony" Cosentino Obituary
Anthony J. Cosentino, 85, of North Franklin, CT passed away unexpectedly on July 1, 2020. Tony was born on June 25, 1935 in Willimantic, CT to the late Joseph and Rose (Carboni) Cosentino. Tony served in the U.S. Army from 1958 to 1960. He was an IBEW Local 35 journeyman electrician for 40 years. After retiring, Tony enjoyed volunteering for High Hopes Therapeutic Riding, Inc. in Old Lyme, CT. He enjoyed the simple things in life, such as hiking in the woods, camping and spending time at the beach, doing jigsaw and crossword puzzles and spending many wonderful times with his family and friends. Tony was a “jack of all trades” and could build or fix just about anything. He even built his first home. He was always willing to give a helping hand to anyone in need. Tony was an avid Yankees and Patriots fan. He loved animals and they loved him, especially his precious dog, Rocky. Above all, Tony loved his grandchildren dearly and will be forever known as “Grampy”. Tony is survived by his loving wife, Christine (Therrien) of 56 years. He will be forever loved and missed by his four children: his daughter, Toni Siracusa and husband Robert of Hebron, CT, his son Nicholas Cosentino of North Franklin, CT, his son Joseph Cosentino of Mount Pleasant, SC, and his daughter Krista Mullaney and husband Mark of Stuart, FL. He also leaves eight loving grandchildren: Erika, Victoria and Olivia Siracusa, Sophia, Bella and Jack Cosentino, and Charles and Joshua Mullaney. In addition, he leaves a brother, Donald Cosentino and wife Irene of Norwich, CT, and sisters; Beverly Cosentino and Elizabeth Hook of North Franklin, CT. In addition, he leaves behind many extended family members, including dear nieces and nephews, many cousins, and several aunts.
