Anthony J. Cucinotta

Anthony J Cucinotta, 78 of Beach Haven, NJ born May 26, 1947 surrounded by more love than he knew what to do with, Sailed into the sunrise on his eternal fishing trip in the morning hours of Friday, February 6, 2026.

Leaving a lasting impression on many, while doing what he loved , whether he casually flipped you the bird or helped you catch your first fish he was responsible for an endless amount of amazing memories.

Whether you knew him as Hon, Anthony, Tony, Dad, or Poppy, he secured a place in our hearts finally settling as a Salty Old Sea Dog… which couldn’t be any more of a compliment for him considering how tough he was until the very end.

Being surrounded by the sand and sea is where Tony wanted to be, a huge part of that being from the friends and acquaintances he met along the way. He loved being a part of the NJ Beach Buggy Association, Happy Hookers Fishing Club, The Black Pearl & Miss Beach Haven along with careers at Bank of NJ, Jingles Bait & Tackle, and Marine Max.

Anthony is survived by his loving wife Joyce, and their children Lisa, Roseanne, Denise, Melissa, Tracey, Michael, David, Edward, Christopher and Dawn along with their 21 grandchildren and 13 great grandchildren, and of course his brother Michael and sister Kathy, which is easy to say that his family was the only thing more important in his life than the sea.

As Anthony would not want anyone to grieve, instead please remember all the amazing memories you have of him and never forget them so as if he never left our side.

Please check back here at a later date for information on when/where the Celebration of Anthony’s life will be held. Stay salty, Dip your toes in the sand and until we meet again…keep your lines tight.
