Anthony F.

Dinicolantonio

Anthony F. Dinicolantonio, 64, of Niagara Falls, NY, passed away on November 13, 2026, at Buffalo General Hospital in Buffalo, NY, following a long and courageous battle with esthesioneuroblastoma (sinus cancer). Born in Buffalo, NY, he was the son of Maria (Zuppa) Magliazzo and the late Felice U. Dinicolantonio.

Anthony proudly served his country in both the United States Army and the United States Marine Corps from 1979 until his honorable discharge in 1980. Following his military service, he dedicated more than 20 years to the New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision as a Corrections Officer. He worked primarily at Albion Correctional Facility, where he specialized in staff and facility training, and also served as a trainer at Wende and Attica Correctional Facilities. Anthony retired in 2019 after a distinguished career committed to education, leadership, and public service.

Known for his strength, determination, and unwavering spirit, Anthony was an avid powerlifter who enjoyed training at the gym and working out with members of the Niagara Falls Police Department. Above all else, he cherished the time he spent with his family and loved ones. A fiercely strong-willed individual and true fighter, he faced a 22-year battle with esthesioneuroblastoma with remarkable courage, resilience, and perseverance.

In addition to his mother, Anthony is survived by his sister, Genia Dinicolantonio; his niece, Dina Daniels; his nephews, Derrick Hall, Jr. and Eric Hall; his longtime companion of 15 years, Colleen Hurley; a great nephew and three great nieces.

Per Anthony's wishes, there will be no prior visitation or funeral services. In lieu of flowers, memorial offerings may be made to the Wounded Warrior Project at www.Wounded Warrior Project.
