Anthony Mammano
Anthony Mammano, who had his own business making custom cabinetry and doing glasswork, died at Southampton Hospital after a short illness. He was 63 and had recently had several strokes and pneumonia.
Mr. Mammano, who was known as Tony, was a member of the Living Water Full Gospel Church in Wainscott, where he volunteered to help run the food pantry. He also volunteered his time for fund-raisers for the East Hampton Food Pantry and for the Clamshell Foundation here.
“He loved East Hampton; he always found it so giving,” said Corinne Wizelius, his partner of more than a decade, with whom he lived on Glade Road in Springs. He enjoyed supporting local causes and benefits for residents in need, Ms. Wizelius said.
Mr. Mammano also enjoyed spending time with her two young grandchildren, she said, and called them his “buddies.” He moved to East Hampton from Islip 10 years ago.
He was born on Dec. 10, 1950, a son of the late Mario and Lena Mammano. He grew up in Amityville. From 1968 to 1972, he served in the Marine Corps in Vietnam.
Besides Ms. Wizelius, Mr. Mammano is survived by a brother, Joe Mammano of Michigan, and two sisters, Dolores Giampetruzzi of Holtsville and Michelina Mignone of Bethpage.
A service was held at the Living Water church on Sept. 8, with the Rev. Joseph Kelly officiating. Mr. Mammano’s ashes were placed in Calverton National Cemetery the next day.
Memorial contributions have been suggested to East Hampton Meals on Wheels, 33 Newtown Lane, East Hampton 11937, or to the Living Water food pantry, 69 Industrial Road, Wainscott 11975.
