Anthony "Tony" Giordano, 72, of Bradenton, Florida, passed away on January 7, 2025. He was born on August 31, 1952, in Brooklyn, New York, to Vincent and Katherine Giordano.
Tony is survived by his loving wife, Tanya; his son, Vincent (Jill); his father, Vincent; his sister, Lucille (Robert); his cherished grandchildren, Brandon, Gia, and Isabella; and his former wife, Donna. He was preceded in death by his beloved daughter, Kimberly.
A proud native of Brooklyn, Tony spent his career serving the City of New York, including assisting during the aftermath of 9/11.
