Anthony Pedulla, 67, of Niagara Falls, NY, passed away on November 29, 2023 at his residence. Born in Niagara Falls, NY, he was the son of the late Anthony T. and Margaret (Critelli) Pedulla.
Anthony was a graduate of LaSalle Senior High School and that is where he began to cultivate his talent. While he retired as a Laborer with Great Lakes Carbon in Niagara Falls, NY and also worked as a Tax Preparer for several H&R Block locations, Anthony’s true passion in life was music and entertaining. He was best known for working many private gigs, outdoor events, hotels, weddings, and local nursing homes. A very charismatic and larger than life personality, Anthony demanded attention anytime he entered a room. He also enjoyed traveling the last few years with his girlfriend and never turned down a good tequila or scotch along the way. If it was a really good tequila or scotch, he may have changed into his “Adult Supervision Required” t-shirt. With Anthony, you could always have a good laugh and a great time! An avid fitness enthusiast, Anthony enjoyed going to the gym and walking every day. More than anything, he was devoted to his family, who will miss him dearly.
Anthony is survived by his daughters, Janelle M. Pedulla (David Sorrentino) and Tiffany A. Shelmidine; his longtime girlfriend and soulmate, Lynette Crinzi Baker; his brother, Joseph P. (Maria) Pedulla, Fire Chief, NFFD, and sister, Christina (David) Mokhiber; as well as 2 nephews and several cousins.
There will be no prior visitation or services. In lieu of flowers, memorial offerings may be made to the Niagara Falls Fire Department Children’s Toy Fund, P.O. Box 271 Niagara Falls, NY 14304.
