Anthony P. Cassinelli passed away on Friday, May 29 at his Maitland, Florida Home. Born January 26. 1940 in Mullens, WV to the late Charles and Magdalena Cassinelli. He was preceded in death by three sisters and a brother. Anthony is survived by his wife of 58 years, Danilee Cordea Cassinelli; three sons: Anthony Cassinelli II, John Cassinelli and wife Susan, and Joseph Cassinelli; granddaughter Crystal Cassinelli; sister Mary Campbell; step-grandson, RJ Horton and family; brothers-in-law Colonel Thomas Schnieders and Michael Kosco; and five nieces and five nephews. Anthony was a graduate of Mullens (WV) High School and Marshall University, Huntington WV where he earned a Bachelor’s degree in Banking and Finance and was a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity. He was also a graduate of the American Institute of Banking. Anthony was an officer/part owner of First National Bank of Winter Park and Independent Community Banks, Inc., a consortium of banks in Florida. Anthony was considered an ultra-conservative banker who liked the atmosphere of a small-town bank and who considered customer service to be a banking priority. He especially valued time and having fun with his family, including many trips in the United States and to Italy and other European and Canadian destinations. Sailing past the Statue of Liberty and visiting Ellis Island were highlights of his life as his parents and other relatives were Italian immigrants. Growing up in West Virginia in a family that owned movie theatres, Anthony loved movies. This love carried over to attending Broadway shows; he and Danilee have been patrons of the Broadway series for over 30 years. Anthony enjoyed playing tennis and golf, was a New York Yankees fan, and was considered a “pro” in the billiards league. He was a man of faith and a regular at morning Mass and Rosary in the chapel at St. Margaret Mary where he made many friends and later enjoyed going to Panera’s for bagels or sweets. A Mass of Christian Burial will be at 11:00 a.m. on Friday, June 5 at St. Margaret Mary Catholic Church, Winter Park, FL with Father Richard Walsh officiating. Entombment will be at Glen Haven Memorial Park, Winter Park, FL.
