Tony was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on August 15, 1940 to Angelo and Elizabeth Tuminello and passed away Monday, September 26, 2022 in Shreveport, Louisiana.

Tony graduated Louisiana State University-Alexandria in 1964 and received his CLU from Bryn Mawr College. He was a Chartered Life Underwriter and worked for Met Life and Kilpatrick Life Insurance Company, where he retired as the Vice President/Chief Marketing Officer in 2010 after 38 years of service. Anybody that knew Tony, knew his love for the game of golf and how he loved telling his “Boudreaux and Thibodeaux” jokes. Above all, he loved his wife, Linda, and they were married for 59 years. He loved his family, his work family at Kilpatrick, his friends and his dog Gracie.

He is preceded in death by his parents and in-laws, Sybil and Bennett Gremillion. Left to cherish his memory are his wife, Linda Gremillion Tuminello; daughter, Maria Layton; sons, Mark Tuminello and wife, Lecy and Daryl Tuminello and partner, Baylor Boyd; grandsons, Carl “CJ” Layton and Cole Tuminello; sisters, Elizabeth Meullar and Sally Messenger; brother, Joseph Tuminello; brother-in-law, Donald Coco and wife, Elise and a host of nieces and nephews.

The family would like to express special thanks to the staff of Intensive Specialty Hospital, especially to Dillon Hart, NP.
