Anthony Lawrence Cupoli's Obituary
Anthony Lawrence Cupoli JD, 72, of Syracuse, passed away on Saturday, February 1, 2020. Anthony was a beloved father, brother, uncle, cousin, and friend.
Anthony was born in Syracuse to the late Anthony and Nina (Vecchio) Cupoli. He was a graduate of Lemoyne College and received his master’s degree from Wayne State University and Law Degree from Wayne State Law School in Detroit, Michigan. Anthony valued his education and his years as a patent lawyer. He was a member of many clubs and organizations throughout his years. He was fortunate to call Syracuse, Detroit, Chicago and Voorhees, NJ his home. Anthony enjoyed traveling the world with his wife and son. Anthony valued his family and friendships, always enjoyed talking to others and learning of their journeys.
Anthony began the onset of dementia in his young forties and fought to find ways to remember everyone and everywhere. Those who knew him can all speak of him capturing every possible memory through constant pictures and data collecting via a paper notebook to his palm pilot, and later to a Blackberry. Through his loss of memory, Anthony never lost the memory of the love family brings, and although he didn’t remember much else, he knew when in the presence of family and close friends. He relied heavily on his wife for day to day living and later he walked his path with his niece Tina M (Cupoli) Stewart. Anthony was a true fighter until the end and has now began his eternal rest with his predeceased loved ones and the Lord.
Besides his parents, Anthony was predeceased by his wife Patricia (Dymkar) Cupoli and his sister-in-law, Robin.
Anthony is survived by his son, Michael (Candice) Cupoli of Beijing, China; brothers, Richard C. Cupoli of Syracuse and Dr. Edward M. (Sharon L.) Cupoli of Albany; sister-in-law Irene K. Dymkar (Stephen M. Brandt); along with several nieces, nephews, and cousins.
