Masgio, Anthony “Papa Tony”
77, passed away unexpectedly on Wednesday, November 9, 2022 after having back surgery. He leaves behind his dear wife of 53 years, Carol (Apollo) Masgio, daughter, Ginnie Masgio, son, Anthony (Dana) Masgio III, son, Kristofer (Misty) Masgio, daughter, Kimberly (Kevin) Precht, 10 grandchildren, family and friends.
He was born and escaped a war torn Hungary to come to the US in 1958. He was employed at Metropolitan Sewer District for 45 years until his retirement in 2011. Even though he didn’t have a college education his intelligence was beyond schooling. He loved to read and learn about history, music and of course life. He never met a stranger. He could talk with anyone. His heart was so big and his love endless! He will be greatly missed but never forgotten.

Anytime I would see Mr. Masgio I liked too talk with him. He always seemed interested in what I had to say and also had an opinion himself. Peace to you
To my darling husband,
We had a beautiful marriage with 4 children and spouses that gave us 10 beautiful grandchildren. This made our family grow to 21. We are a very close knit family that share love, laughter and fun. Your nieces and nephews loved Uncle Tony and the little ones “Papa Tony”. You were so proud of all your grandchildren and children and you will be missed greatly. I know you are at peace and no longer in pain and I will see you again. I love you so much. Rest In Peace.
Iv only known you for the last several years but you always treated me like family. We will miss seeing you at all our events, but we will not forget you. You will live on through our fond memories and will always be in our hearts.
Sorry for the loss of a husband Father grandpa and uncle. I have not seen you over the years but the years I was able to meet a man that was a kind soul. I am sure you will be missed by many. RIP!
Oh, how you will be missed. Even though we weren’t related, I always, felt like we were. Like a father, with your great advice and always a willingness to help. I feel lucky to have known you and I am grateful for that. My prayers love and hugs to your family.
Papa Masgio was and will always remain a great man. He was an amazing Husband, Father and Grandfather. We will truly miss your stories Papa Masgio. You have always made us feel like family, my heart breaks your family. You will live through your children and grandchildren. Your legend will continue! All our love

Finding the words to write to tell you how much I loved him is so hard. He was the father figure we had after my dad and your dad passed. His kindness and understanding will always be remembered. Our children and grandchildren loved him so much, The Littles (Stephanie’s kids) couldn’t wait to see him. They loved his beard, and cheeks when he smiled said he looked like Santa Clause. Yes we will miss him, but the stories we talk about will make the memories so much easier to hold onto. Papa Tony we love you.
I sat and spoke with Tony many times. I asked about his younger years growing up in Europe. I loved listening to his stories from his youth an the funny family stories here. I am a better person by knowing Tony and I will miss him terribly. He was a beautiful soul.
