Antonio 'Red' Denardis

Antonio “Red” DeNardis, of New Castle, PA, passed peacefully on the 5th of July, 2013.
He was the devoted husband of his surviving wife, Anna (Chiarini) DeNardis. Antonio is also survived by his son, Attorney Antonio Daniel DeNardis (Danny) of Fairhaven, MA, and by his daughter, Dr. Maria C. DeNardis of Columbus, OH, as well as their respective spouses Ann Ponichtera DeNardis and Robert D. Moss.
He was the loving grandfather of his four grandchildren, Stefanie Nicole DeNardis, Julia Danielle DeNardis, Alexandra Elise DeNardis Moss, and Corrin Anne DeNardis Moss.
Antonio DeNardis was born in San Vito Chietino, Abruzzo, Italy. He was the son of Fiorante DeNardis and Maria (Berghella) DeNardis. His Sisters Angelina and Concetta preceded him and he is survived by his sister Italia and his brother Filipo in Italy.
Red or Tony, as he was known by friends, enjoyed gardening. He took great pride in growing roses and vegetables. He continued to make homemade wine throughout his life. He loved to cook Italian food for his family, passing his secret recipes along to his grandchildren. He played bocce and Italian card games, but he loved playing the lottery the most, for which he developed his own unique system for choosing the numbers.
He was a member of the Sons of Italy for over fifty years, the old Casa Savoia, and the VFW on Cascade Street. He retired from Sharon Steel, and in his younger days worked in construction and landscaping.
He was a proud Italian-American. Ciao Tonino, Red, Tony, Grandpa, Dad. We love you and you will be missed.
