Anthony J. Cristiano of Massapequa peacefully passed on March 21, 2021 at the age of 97.  He is survived by his beautiful wife and dance partner of 73 years, Priscilla (Pat) and his children Gregory and Cindy.  He is also survived by five beloved grandchildren, Laura (Marco), Katie (Emery), Christie (Mike), Diana and Michael, and three cherished great grandchildren, Kai, Grace and Miles.  He also leaves behind his younger sister, Marie.  Anthony was born in Manhattan and grew up in the Bronx and moved to Massapequa in 1952.  He proudly served his country as a Master Sergeant in the United States Army in the Pacific Theater during WWII.  His professional life was spent in the automobile industry starting as a service writer and working his way up to owning two new car franchises.  He will always be remembered for his ambition, perseverance, generosity, and unfailing devotion to family.  In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to the Wounded Warrior Project at https://support.woundedwarriorproject.org/ or a charity or your choice.
