Anthony James

Pistachio

Anthony "Tony" Pistachio, a Fishkill resident since 2000, formerly of the Bronx and Yorktown Heights, passed away at home on Thursday, November 5, 2026. He was 94.

Son of the late Geremia and Candida (Pariglioli) Pistachio, he was born in the Bronx on July 20, 1932. 

Tony was a proud US Army Veteran who was honorably discharged after serving during the Korean Conflict. He retired as a foreman from the New York City Department of Sanitation after many years of service.  In his retirement, Tony worked part-time as a school bus driver for the Yorktown School District, a position he truly enjoyed. He formed a special appreciation for the children on his route and delighted in recounting the many funny and memorable moments they provided.

He was an avid sports enthusiast and a devoted fan of the New York Yankees and New York Giants. Whether or not his favorite teams were playing, he simply loved the game and rarely missed the opportunity to watch and enjoy the competition. His remarkable memory for baseball history was legendary; he could tell you every World Series matchup and its winner without hesitation. He also enjoyed listening to music, especially Frank Sinatra and other legendary vocalists of the era, as well as the timeless sounds of big-band music. Tony took great joy in traveling, particularly on vacations shared with family and friends.

In 1959, he married the love of his life, MaryAnn Losquatro, at Immaculate Conception Church in the South Bronx. He was predeceased by MaryAnn on January 19, 2025. 

Tony is survived by his daughter, Teresa O'Loughlin of Mahopac; his son, Anthony J. Pistachio, Jr. of Wappingers Falls; as well as several nieces, nephews, and many other loving family members and friends. 

In addition to his wife and parents, he was also predeceased by his sister Mary Davila and her husband Henry, his brother Joseph Pistachio and his wife Angelina and his son-in-law Stephen O'Loughlin.
