OBITUARY
Anthony J. Sidote passed away in Poughkeepsie, NY on 2/12/2022, after a short illness. He was 88 years old.

He worked at IBM Poughkeepsie for 38 years until retiring as a Facilities Planner.
His wife, Renee, was by his side since they first met in high school and throughout their loving 68 years of marriage. Tony loved hunting, fishing, gambling, cooking and baking. He loved visiting his grandchildren and traveling.
Tony was a wonderful husband, father, grandfather, and father-in-law. He took care of his family and gave great advice. On every phone conversation he always told us what he was cooking or baking and took great pride in making his homemade bread and cinnamon cakes. He bought the most heartwarming cards for birthdays, anniversaries, and weddings.
He was predeceased by his sister, Josephine Mucci, and son-in-law, Kevin Marinucci.
Tony is survived by his children: daughter, Kari Marinucci; son, Mark Sidote; daughter-in-law, Stephanie; granddaughter, Maria Carlson and husband, Brett; grandson, Steven; grandson, Gregory and wife, Megan; and great-grandchild, Dean Carlson.
Tony will also be missed by his sister-in-law, Teresa Stevens and her husband, Richard, and his many loved ones, including his numerous nieces and nephews, and the rest of his large extended family.
His absence will be felt year-round, but especially during the family's regular large gatherings which will be bereft of his baked goods, stories, jokes, and poker table presence.

I cherish fond memories of your parents sharing their family home throughout my childhood. I can honestly say I grew up on Italian food. I am grateful Kari and I were allowed to be best friends playing together almost every day. Tony's sense of humor was passed down into our way of thinking and the games we created. I am grateful for the care from your parents. Their bond of love is a wonderful example to witness. Kari and Mark, The Schatzle family is honored to know your father and mother. We celebrate their lives.
Kari and Family, Our heartfelt condolences for your loss. Love Debbie and Paul Slaninka
