Anthony R. Candelora Sr

Anthony R. Candelora Sr. of Londonderry, NH, formerly of Revere passed away surrounded by his loving family on October 4, 2026, at the age of 84. Born on July 26, 1942, to the late Salvino Candelora and Mary (Martocchio). Beloved husband of 54 years to the late Rosemarie J. (Melanson). Anthony, with his infectious humor and boundless generosity, touched many lives in his 84 years. He was a beacon of light for everyone who had the honor to know him.

Anthony, a resident of Londonderry, New Hampshire, was a man of simple pleasures. He took delight in the rumble of old cars, the thrill of a day at the horse track, and the camaraderie of watching his beloved New England Patriots play. Family was Anthony's greatest pride and joy. His love and commitment to his family were a testament to his character – a man who worked tirelessly to support and nurture those he held dear. His kindness and generosity knew no bounds, always ready with a joke to lift spirits or a helping hand in times of need.

He was a devoted father of Kris-Ann Amato and her husband Alan of Pelham, NH, Anthony R. Candelora Jr. and his wife Jill of Manchester, NH, and Michael A. Candelora Sr. and his wife Darlene of Manchester, NH. Adored grandfather of Michael A. Candelora Jr. of Swampscott and Christopher M. Candelora of Manchester, NH. Dear brother of Salvino Candelora of Revere, and the late Florence Bilardi. Also survived by loving nieces and nephews. As we mourn the loss of Anthony, we also celebrate a life well-lived, filled with laughter, warmth, and an unshakeable dedication to family.
