Anthony Corrado Scalzo of Red Bank passed away peacefully at home June 10. He was born in Hoboken to the late Angelo Scalzo and Madeline Muller.
After marrying his wife June in 1991, Anthony lived in the town of Millburn for 25 years. He had a 40-year career on Wall Street, including 20 years with Swiss Bank as a vice president.
He was ordained a deacon in June 2001 and appointed to his home parish of St. Rose of Lima in Short Hills. His main ministry was bereavement, where he presided over 600 funerals over 10 years. He also taught CCD for 15 years and, along with his wife, was in charge of the altar server program.
Upon moving to Red Bank three years ago, he joined the parish of The Church of the Nativity in Fair Haven where he found a second home through the diaconate, assisting at daily Mass as well as other services. Serving the Lord through the diaconate program was a labor of love for Anthony.
