Anthony Carvalho

Tony Carvalho, Rochester, NY, Rochester Cremation

Rochester, NY:  Anthony Carvalho, passed away on November 8, 2018, after a 7-week battle with esophageal and lung cancer, while being cared for by Lifetime Care, Hospice of Rochester. He is survived by his sisters Linda (Tom) Kunz and Carol (Dom) Contestabile, nieces Lia and Kristen, nephews Bill and Dan, and is pre-deceased by his parents Manuel and Jemma Carvalho.

Tony suffered a severe stroke 22 months ago and couldn’t use his right side. His stubbornness became his strength as he fought his way back to his new “normal” and learned how to breathe, swallow, chew, speak and walk again!

Our special thanks to Hospice of Rochester and the Palliative Care team at Rochester General Hospital for the love and comfort they provided Tony and our family. Also a special thanks to Monroe Community Hospital for his restorative therapy after his stroke and to his care givers, Autumn and Tanika, who gave him strength and support while he lived home. Donations may be made in his name to Hospice Care of Rochester, 3111 Winton Road South, Rochester, NY 14623.

A remembrance of Tony’s life will be held early next year, and notice of the date and time will be posted on Facebook.

Farewell brother, uncle, cousin, friend. We’ll miss your laughter and your heart! But we are grateful that your frustration and pain are no more. Rest in Peace.
