Anthony J. Lombardo, Jr.

7/15/2021

Anthony J. Lombardo, Jr, aka “Chip,” 58 of Niskayuna, NY, and recently Canandaigua, NY, passed away suddenly at Strong Memorial Hospital.
There are no words to summarize Chip’s life except to say that he was a beautifully unique person who loved his family with his whole heart. Chip worked hard in his businesses and strived to help young entrepreneurs grown their businesses.
Chip was a devoted husband to his wife, Karen (Candida) Lombardo. Rarely did you find one of them without the other. Amelia and Jack now carry his love, soul, and ambition as they begin to build their own lives. A little rescued bulldog named Miss Tillie stole his heart and mourns him every day.
His nieces and nephews, Jenna Simon, Lexi Simon, Kolby Simon, Victoria Candida, and Anabella Candida, loved his pizza and spending time with him in the kitchen.
He is predeceased by his brother, John Lombardo, his father, Anthony J. Lombardo, and his two cousins Peter M. Baichi and David J. Baichi. Chip is survived by his mother Sandra (Boyden) Lombardo, his sister Tracey Simon (Mark), his aunt Mary Lou Baichi (Peter), and his two cousins Matthew and Derek Baichi.
A celebration gathering of friends and family will be announced and will take place in the Niskayuna, NY area.
The family requests in place of flowers and cards that friends and family perform acts of kindness in Chip’s name. Do something good for people and your community. Chip gave with his heart and spirit. We now need to carry on this commitment in his absence.
Special love to the team in the Cardiac ICU and Strong Memorial in Rochester, NY. The private gifts of time you gave us with Chip cannot be described. He donated his organs, and others have lived. Please be an organ donor.

Our condolences and prayers to the Lombardo family. Tony was a great man, so likable and kind, although it’s been many years since I saw him, I can smell and imagine the taste of his handmade pizza , delivered to his friends with that big smile of his!

I was so sorry to hear of Chip’s sudden passing. His love for Karen - for his whole family - was obvious and beautiful to all who knew him. He brought so much joy.

I did not know Tony for long. But during the time I got to know him in our weekly BNI meetings, he made such an impression on me. He was the guy you wanted on zoom at 7am. His energy always carried the conversation early in the morning. His bright, cheery, selfless and kind hearted qualities became qualities that I look up too and hope to carry on through my work. I am sending you all so much love and will honor him through acts of kindness as I remember and hold close the power of giving to others that he exemplified. He shined so bright in such a humble way.

I met Tony at a hotel in philly while our boys were competing in a crew race. I had known Jack and thought he was just the greatest kid and then I met Tony and I understood why Jack was who he was. Tony was such a thoughtful and kind father; I immediately felt that his kids were so lucky to have such a father. Then I met Tony as husband and he was so wonderful in that capacity too. My family always enjoyed walking past the Lombardo house and chatting with “Karen and Chip” and were always flabbergasted by their energy level with their 5 am workouts and epic holiday decorations. Our last conversation was about their move to the Finger Lakes and they seemed so happy. My husband and I were sad for them to leave our neighborhood but so excited for this next stage of their life. I am so sorry that Tony’s life was cut short. I will always remember Tony as a great dad, husband, and neighbor.

I met Karen first and then Tony and both of them are incredible people. I started working with Tony and his company a few months ago and had conversations with him weekly about different aspects of the business as well as personal goings on. He was always so much fun to talk to and I always enjoyed that when I chatted with him on Zoom he would tell me that Karen had relegated him to the bedroom with the new snoring puppy! I know how much he and Karen loved and supported one another, such a great pair! He will truly be missed. Thoughts and love to Karen, Jack, Amelia and the rest of the family.

Beautifully written tribute to Chip. My deepest condolences to you all. So glad we were able to see you both before you moved. Steve and my neighbor really enjoyed talking to Chip about Kentucky , sports and the kids. God Bless you all.

I have known Karen and Chip for close to 35 years. I met Karen first as a business associate, and then our relationship expanded to include Chip. Our friendship has transcended time and distance. And my love for them has only continued to grow over all these years. I was lucky enough to visit them last year when my son was contemplating college up in their area. After not having seen them for many years, simply because they were in upstate New York and I was in New Jersey, they opened their home to us, Chip made his famous pizza and we had hours worth of laughing and love. My heart is broken over his life being cut so short. He will always be remembered by those who loved him and his name will always be a blessing.

I met the Lombardo family because Jack is a friend to both my boys. I love Jack and his infectious warmth and humor! I was able to see clearly how Jack became the lovable human that he is when I met Karen and Chip and Amelia! The warmth and fun spirit that emanates from them both is not to be ignored!! I did not know Chip all that well-however I will say that when I was in his presence I knew I was with someone who was special and kind and not afraid to be the loving person he is. And he was very funny!! He is the kind of person who you just know that you are better for having been around him-even if the time was too short. My heart is with the whole Lombardo family.♥️

While I only knew Tony for a short time, I consider myself lucky to have had the chance to know him. Tony was an optimistic, kind, bright and energetic person who made networking at 7 am a breeze. I will miss his humor, his energy and his easy-going nature. My sincere condolences go to all who knew and loved Tony, especially his wife, his children and his mother.

We met the Lombardo family back when Jack and our daughter went to elementary school together. Then as the kids got a bit older, Amelia babysat for them. I can't say enough about the kind people they turned out to be. I can remember visiting with Karen & Tony at the many school events and more recently on my many walks to work during the pandemic. My route to work took Chad and I by the Lombardo house and often Tony was pulling out of the driveway for work. He always greeted with you with a warm smile and great conversation. He was the kind of guy everyone wanted to be like. He was confident, open, and it was so easy to see that he loved his family. I often would see Tony and Karen walking to Shop Rite holding hands and you could tell the love they shared. Our thoughts and prayers are with the whole Lombardo family. I am so glad that Tony's legacy will live on in his children and the love he shared with Karen.

I met Karen through work ages ago. George and I always enjoyed going upstate to Chip and Karen's lovely house for their epic Christmas parties. We are so sorry at his untimely passing and send condolences to the entire family. I hope your grief is tempered by the knowledge that Chip was able to give life to others through organ donation. He will be remembered as a good and kind soul.

I met Tony last year when he joined my networking group. We quickly hit it off. Tony was very professional and helpful whenever we met. He quickly analyzed my unique situation and gave me some great ideas of how to improve my burgeoning business. He did all of this humorously and with a very giving heart. I will greatly miss Tony, and I feel blessed to have gotten to know him and learn from him.

Karen introduced me to Tony as a business associate but we became fast friends. Yes, Tony was a successful entrepreneur but the pillars of his success were his humor, his enthusiasm his love of family and his genuine care and concern for all he came into contact with. Tony simply did things right and I miss him terribly. I wish I had the chance to eat one of his famous pizzas that I have heard so much about. Karen, Jack and Amelia, you remain in my thoughts and prayers. Know Chip, your Dad, touched so many, so wonderfully during his brief time with us.

Lovely tribute for a wonderful man. I find myself thinking about my favorite memories of Chip. Hanging out in the kitchen with Karen & our friends on a random night while Chip made us homemade pizza while chatting away with us. Always happy to make us picky girls whatever we wanted. I am so grateful to have known him and to have called him my friend. Karen, Amelia & Jack…I am so very sorry…you are all in my heart.

If you’re aiming to improve your credit fast here’s a lifetime opportunity for you to do so. I had some negative items preventing me from getting the loan I seek. I looked for means to clean up this mess so I could possibly get the house I required. I got a recommendation [FASTHACKCREDITSOLUTION] on from a friend after a wasteful search for about 2 WEEKS. I decided to give him a try after all. Surprisingly, within 3days, my report is in a good shape with all the negative items erased and my score increased to 791.
