Obituary for Anthony S. Fragnito, Jr.
Anthony S. Fragnito Jr., 61 years, of Whitehall, passed away on Saturday June 2nd, 2018 at home. He was the husband of Diane M. (Egan) Fragnito, with whom he celebrated 24 years of marriage this past March. Born in Allentown, he was the son of the late Anthony S. And AnnMarie (Siska) Fragnito Sr.
Anthony was a laborer for Mack trucks for 30 years before retiring and also owned Fragnito’s Place in Coplay. He was a member of UAW local #677. He loved collecting and repairing cars and tractors. He was a man of many words, sometimes too many words. Tony could often be found sitting on the front porch of the bar telling stories and jokes. He loved having a big family and it was because of him that our home had a revolving door where everyone felt welcome. However one of his best attributes was the way he loved his grandchildren and more so the way they loved him.
He is survived by his wife; son, Cpl. Anthony S. Fragnito III, USMC; daughters, Christina and Maria, of Whitehall, Nicole Hudak and her fiancé Victor Vera of Coplay, and Leah, wife of Schazden Feist, of Kosse, TX; brothers Frank and his wife Kathy of Slatington, Carmen and his wife Laura of Whitehall, John of Cambridge, Australia, and Josef of Catasaqua; sister, Katrina, wife of Gino DeVito of Bethlehem; sister-in-law Francesca of Whitehall; grandchildren Tytan and Maggie Mae Feist, and Ella and Lily Vera; faithful grand puppy Dobby, and many nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by a brother Carlo.
