Anthony J.
Raia
Mar 5, 1925 — Dec 4, 2023
We lovingly remember Anthony Raia, of Saint James, NY, who passed away peacefully on December 4, 2023 at the age of 98, just 3 months shy of his 99th birthday.
Anthony is survived by his daughter, Diane Raia. His wife, Millie, pre-deceased him in 2022, and his son, Anthony, passed away in 2005 from ALS. He leaves behind his devoted daughter-in-law, Rosa Raia, and five grandchildren: Christina, Anthony, Joseph (Taylor), Vincent (Katie), and Stephen (Shivani); as well as two great-grandchildren: Dante and Gianna Raia. Anthony was the youngest, and last remaining of his 8 brothers. He will also be deeply missed by his extended family of nieces and nephews. Anthony was a World War II Veteran, an avid NY Yankees fan, and most importantly, a loving husband, father, father-in-law, grandfather, great-grandfather and uncle.
In lieu of flowers, the family respectfully requests that donations be made to ALS United of Greater NY, in memory of Anthony. Donations can be made online, at: http://secure.als-ny.org/goto/teamraia2023 Or via check, made payable to: ALS United and mailed to: 56 Fleetwood Road, Commack, NY 11725
