Grafton/Worcester – Anthony A. Grandinetti, 53, passed away at home September 6, 2023 following a long illness.
He is survived by his parents Karole (Wade) and Frederick Grandinetti, his son Anthony Grandinetti, daughters Melena and Isabella Grandinetti, his sister Dena O’Leary and her husband Dennis, his loving nieces and nephews Steven and his wife Crystal, Devin, Timothy and his wife Skye, Thomas, Alexander, Maxwell, Jesiah, Clarissa, Mickey, Gabe and Aliyah, his brother Derek Grandinetti and his wife April, his loving nieces and nephews Alexander, Alanna, Sophia, Cordelia, Luca, Noah and his former wife Theresa.
Tony was born June 10, 1970 in Shirley, MA at the military base at Fort Devens. His roots were in Grafton where he grew up and attended Grafton High School.
By trade Tony found work in construction over the years and loved it. Away from work he looked forward to spending time with his son and daughters, attending outings with family and friends, taking a ride on his motorcycle or spending time working on his bike with his favorite music always on. He loved live music and the Grateful Dead which he and his brother Derek both followed together.
Anthony had the biggest heart and was always willing to help anyone who needed it. He always loved being in the woods of his childhood home in Grafton. Anthony hoped to one day move back there and form a family compound on the land he grew up on and live out his days there surrounded by family. He also loved snowmobiling in Maine and dreamed of someday owning a vacation cabin in the woods.
