Mario Pisano

Anthony Pisano was a resident of the east village for over 40 years and a fixture in the neighborhood. Sadly, Anthony lost his battle to cancer on April 6th 2018. Known as the “mayor of 7th street” Anthony always greeted passers-by with a smile. But it didn’t stop there, he would invite anyone curious enough into his apartment (an old antique store converted into a studio apartment). To enjoy the belongings he gathered throughout his life. 

Everyone who knew him called him “Tony”. But for me it was “uncle Tony”. He lived his life simply and didn’t gather much monetary savings. His wealth came from love and compassion for his fellow human beings and sharing conversation.

As his remaining family is trying to pull together to fulfill Anthony’s final wishes. It is a very difficult task to afford a proper burial and memorial for him. That is why I ask all of you to help us give Anthony a “funeral fit for a mayor”.  Any size donation is accepted and greatly appreciated. 

I will regularly update everyone with exactly when and where the wake and funeral will be. So those of you who knew him can pay your last respects. 

Thank you you for your time and I look forward to meeting all of you.
