Age 68
It is with deep heartbreak and endless love we share the passing of Anthony Arpino, a good man whose life was lived with extraordinary purpose, devotion, and courage. Anthony fought until the very end, showing strength and determination that guided every part of his life.
Born on November 9, 1957, Anthony was the beloved son of Mary and Fred (both deceased).Anthony is survived by his loving wife, Lucy, and their cherished daughter Toni-Ann and her husband Anthony, whom he loved like a son. He is also survived by his brother Michael and his wife Linda, along with his nephews & nieces and their children. He held a special place in the hearts of his sister-in-law Teresa and her husband Peter, and in the hearts of countless cousins and friends who loved him deeply.
Anthony was a man of unwavering kindness, generosity, and love. He had a rare ability to make everyone feel valued, welcomed, and respected. Whether family, friend, colleague, or someone he met only once—Anthony loved people wholeheartedly, and they loved him right back.
A hardworking and self-made businessman, Anthony along with his Partner Jimmy built Express Air Systems from the ground up. His dedication, integrity, and vision shaped not only his life but the lives of those he worked with. He treasured his business family at EAS where the partnership they formed became a lifelong brotherhood.
Anthony’s passions reflected the joy he found in living. He spent many winters snowmobiling in Old Forge and summers jet skiing on Long Island Sound… He adored his winters in Florida with Lucy where golf, sunshine, and friends filled his days. He found joy traveling with family and friends, creating memories across places and generations. A devoted Yankees fan, he loved attending games with his daughter and friends—moments that brought him tremendous joy.
Anthony worked hard and played hard. He treasured his friends; every laugh, every joke, every outing fulfilled his life’s journey. He had friends of all ages, from all places, because his heart was open to everyone. His faith was his guiding force. He was a devout Catholic attending services no matter where he was on a Sunday.
His compassion was boundless—he was the kind of man who would give you the shirt off his back without a second thought. He was always the life of every party.
Anthony leaves behind a legacy of love, fun, happiness, faith, and generosity. He touched and shaped more lives than he ever knew. Although God called him home sooner than any of us were ready for, the impact he made will continue to shine through every person whose life he blessed.
