Anthony Alfred Pellerano died after a long, brave battle with Alzheimer’s on Saturday, June 16, 2018, at the age of 89. He will be lovingly missed by his wife of 65 years, Gloria, and his devoted daughters, Carol, Linda and Christina. He will also be missed by his two granddaughters, Samantha and Rebecca, and his sons-in-law, Chris Weilert and Danny Cruise.
Born on April 4, 1929, in San Francisco, Anthony was adored by all that knew him. In the 1960s, he owned his own Italian restaurant Pietro’s and, even after it closed, he made pasta every single day. He continued to work hard his entire life to support his family, often working two to three jobs. He also served in the Korean war as a combat medic.
Anthony will be fondly remembered for his nightly Manhattan, his infectious and frequent laugh and his passion for watching sports with his son-in-law, Chris. Together, they would shout at the TV and indulge in traditional antipasta. He was a loving and devoted father who was courageous and full of life even through his illness. Anthony was put to rest at Woodlawn Memorial Park and Funeral home at 1000 El Camino Real, Colma.
