Loved all New England sports

NORTH READING — Anthony Italo Lucci, 37, passed away unexpectedly at his home on August 18, 2019. Born and raised in North Reading, he attended North Reading schools and the Northeast Metro Tech.
Survived by his loving daughter, Paige Lucci; his father, Anthony W. Lucci; sister, Clementina (Tina) Lucci and his brothers, Thomas and Wayne Williams. He was predeceased by his mother, Ruthanne (Woods) Lucci.
Tony’s presence on earth was larger than life itself; there aren’t many men like him and few will merely ever come as close. He was caring, sensitive and sweet. His proudest moment in life was the birth of his daughter Paige, who shares his button nose and warm smile.
He was the life of the party, enjoyed being from a large family and always looked forward to gatherings with his many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews and friends.
Tony had a love of all things New England sports, a passion he picked up from his father. They spent many afternoons and evenings quizzing each other on Red Sox trivia, past and present. He will be missed by so many, he will always be remembered for being kind, loving and supportive. His smile will never fade, it will be carried in all of our hearts, in eternity.
His funeral will be held from the Croswell Funeral Home, 19 Bow Street, North Reading on Friday, August 23 at 9:15 a.m., followed by a 10:30 a.m. funeral Mass at St. Theresa’s Church, 63 Winter Street (Rte. 62), North Reading. Visitation will be held on Thursday, August 22 from 4 to 7 p.m. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made in his memory to the charity of one’s choice. www.croswellfuneralhome.com
