Anthony (Tony) DeLuca, age 66 years, of Raritan Township, NJ, died peacefully on Saturday, April 20, 2024, at Hunterdon Medical Center.

Born in the Bronx, NY, June 28, 1957, son of the late Dante and Julia DeLuca, Tony was raised in the Bronx and had lived for many years in Succasunna and Whitehouse Station, NJ, prior to moving to Raritan Township in 2002.

A man whose humor and charisma touched all those with whom he came into contact, his interests varied from grilling on the B-B-Q for his family while rooting for the New York Giants, to relaxing at the Jersey Shore, watching the sunset and eating a hot-dog!

As a beloved coach, successful entrepreneur, and salesman, Tony leaves behind a legacy of love and devotion that will be carried forward by the lights of his life: his children and their spouses, as well as his grandchildren. Stephen, Michael and Stephanie, and Juliana and Errol, along with his three grandsons, Jordan, Errol, and Edwin, brought immense joy and pride to his life and Tony closed his eyes to this world confident that they would continue to be there for one another, always. He will also be sorely missed by his longtime partner of many years, Lisa, with whom he made many happy memories, several extended family members, and many dear friends.

In one of Tony’s favorite songs, we hear the lyrics, “I’ve lived a life that’s full; I traveled each and every highway; And more, much more than this, I did it my way…” These lyrics by Frank Sinatra truly sum up the legacy of this father, grandfather, partner, and friend to all he met. Tony lived each day to its fullest, seizing the moment and letting the love of family and friends be his North Star. To honor Tony, is to wake up each day trying to love a bit harder, and to always remember that family is everything.

Friends and family are invited to gather together to celebrate Tony’s life on Saturday, May 11, 2024, from 2:00-4:00 p.m., at Wright & Ford Family Funeral Home and Cremation Services, 38 State Highway 31, Flemington, NJ.

A Life Celebration service will follow the gathering at 4:00 p.m. at the funeral home, and all are invited to bring heartfelt memories to share. If you are unable to attend but would like something read on your behalf, please click HERE to generate an email to the funeral home.

3 was the # in my family. 3 DeLuca kids. Anthony went on to have 3 of his own. You carried a heavy load my brother. Please rest now

I was very saddened to hear of Tony's passing. I was partners with him during his Readington Baseball and Recreation days. Tony was a kind man who cared about everyone. He was a pleasure to be around at all times and I leaned a lot from him. He will be always loved and missed by everyone who knew him. Rest in peace my friend. God bless you always.

Dear DeLuca Family, Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Tony was a great colleague and friend, he will truly be missed.

15 years goes by in a blink. I started doing business with Tony back in 2010 or somewhere around there. We never take the time to look back to realize how long we know someone. Tony was such a gentle person and very easy to talk to. We had our moments but it was never about us. Tony was very spirited and full of life, it was not till I seen him dance the night away at my wedding did I realize how much. He loved life almost as much as he loved his family. I will miss our conversations as well as the times we laughed together over the silliest things. How wonderful it is to do business with a person and get to know them as a friend. He will always be the guy everyone knew who got things done, but he will always be Mr. Magoo to me. An inside joke with love. He will be sadly missed but never forgotten.

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

We send you thoughts of comfort.
