Anthony P. Capone

Age 91, died on Thursday, August 13 in his beloved home town of Pittsburgh. Anthony, or Tony to his friends, was born on February 6, 1924 in Aliquippa, PA to Aniello and Mary Capone. After graduating from high school, he enlisted in the armed services in March 1943, serving with the 77th Field Hospital. He was honorably discharged in April 1946 after having received the American Service Medal, European African Middle Eastern Campaign Medal, Good Conduct Medal, and World War II Victory Medal. After his service, he attended Duquense University and graduated in 1950 with a degree in business administration. He landed his first job at Arthur Young as an accountant and remained in that position for six years. Deciding to strike out on his own, Anthony started his own accounting practice in 1956 and for more than 50 years served thousands of friends, families, and colleagues. In fact, he was still doing tax returns until his passing, never wanting to leave his clients without a trusted advisor. Anthony is survived by his brother, Ralph; his sister, Rose, and his four children: Neil, Anthony Jr. (Kellie), Mark (Kelly), and Dean (Cheryl). He was preceded in death by his beloved wife of 54 years, Carolyn. Anthony leaves behind a roadmap for our lives about the meaning of commitment. He was resolutely devoted to his wife, his children, his family, his friends, his clients, and his country. We will miss him dearly, but we will cherish our memories and the values he instilled that will guide our steps forever. And we take comfort in knowing that our mom has welcomed him to God’s kingdom with a loving embrace. Funeral arrangements by BEINHAUERS, 724-941-3211.
