August 26 2019
Tony William Simarro passed away peacefully on Monday, August 26, 2019 at the Hospice House in Kennewick, Washington after a brief decline in health. He was born on February 24, 1927 to Ida Araque and Frank Simarro in Antioch, California where he resided until 2002. He moved to Kennewick in 2002 to be near family. He is survived by his daughter, Sharon Fontana and her husband Ernest; granddaughter Alison Kallstrom and her husband Jeff; grandson Santino Fontana and his wife Jessica; great grandchildren Braden and Lucy Kallstrom. He was preceded in death by his wife, Thelma Simarro, his daughter Lynn Simarro, and his parents. Tony had a personality that was bigger than life. He didn’t know a stranger and had a smile for everyone he met. He might even sing for you! He loved his family above all else and enjoyed many times with his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. We were lucky to have him around as long as we did. He was a very special husband, father and grandfather. He loved to golf and was able to continue to play until he was well into his eighties. He enjoyed all sports and was an avid football fan. He would share his high school football days with any who would listen! He was kind and helpful and loved to joke. Tony was a veteran of World War II. He spent much of his working life being a sales representative for various Wine and Spirits companies in California. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him. We want to thank the caregivers and staff at Fieldstone Assisted Living as well as the Hospice Care staff and Hospice House. A memorial service celebrating his life will be held in the near future in California.
