It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Anthony W. Johnson, a man with a ready smile and helpful nature who touched the lives of many. He died because of injuries sustained in a tragic house fire. On the same fateful day, his beloved wife, Connie, predeceased him.
Tony's life was a tapestry woven with diverse interests including judo (black belt), swing dancing, leather-working, drag racing, camping, white water rafting, and photography. Together with his wife Connie their most recent project, Camillus Stained Glass, showcased their artistic flair.
Known for his wit and constantly having his “nose in a book,” Tony humorously referred to himself as a "wealth of useless information." His curious mind and an innate ability to recall obscure facts positioned him as a coveted teammate and an invaluable resource for trivia teams.
One of Tony's lifelong loves was lacrosse, a passion that traced back to his days on West Genesee's Championship teams, and continued as he would cheer on his son, nephews, great-nephews, and grandchildren.
Tony is survived by sons Eric Johnson (Shenoa Landon) and Anthony Sorrendino and daughters Lynne Haberstock (John) and Tianna Dumond (Paul). His grandchildren, Micah and Gianna Dumond, as well as Taylor, Isabelle, Blake, and Sabrina Haberstock, brought immense joy to his life. Tony is also survived by his sister Judy Corbett of Rochester and many nieces and nephews, each of whom he held dear.
We invite you to join us for an informal celebration of life for Tony and Connie on February 16, 2024, at 12:30 pm at St. James Church Parish Hall, Skaneateles, NY. Please come as you are and bring your stories to share.
In lieu of flowers donations may be made to Fairmount Fire Department.
