Obituary for Andrew K. Tanzola

Our Angel, Andrew K. Tanzola age 20, of Mantua passed away suddenly on Saturday, August 12, 2017. Andrew graduated from Clearview Regional High School in 2015 and from GCIT in 2016 with a certification in Automotive Mechanics. Survived by his mother Catherine Tanzola and her fiancé Dave Chicosky, brother Nicholas Tanzola and his wife Angela, sister Tracy Tanzola, grandmother Ann Musumeci along with numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins. Predeceased by his father Kenneth, maternal grandfather Angelo Musumeci, and paternal grandparents Dave and Dolores Tanzola. If you look in Webster's Dictionary for the definition of smile, it says "a pleased, kind or amused facial expression usually showing friendliness." The first thing most people who knew Andrew remember or comment about is how he was always smiling. His smile lit up a room so bright you'd wish you had your sunglasses on. Look no further than Facebook or Twitter for comments from his friends and loved ones about what a kind, easy going, friendly soul he was who always liked to joke around and laugh. Friendliness was second nature for him. He was an avid fan of basketball (76ers), baseball (Phillies), and football (Steelers). He played basketball and football for the Clearview Youth Program and baseball for Mantua Township Little League where he met and befriended countless good kids. The world will forever be partly cloudy without this ray of sunshine in it! He truly will be missed. Family and Friends are invited to visit from 9:00 am to 10:45am am on Friday, August 18, 2017 at Infant Jesus Parish At St. Margarets' Church 845 Third Street Woodbury Heights, NJ 08097. Funeral Mass will be held at 11:00 am. Burial to follow at St. Josephs' Cemetery in Swedesboro. Donations can be made to Ashley, 800 Tydings Lane, Havre de Grace, MD 21078.
