Born June 27, 1927, in Marshalltown, Iowa; he was the son of Armando and Rose (Chidichimo) Paglia. Tony Served In Navy during WWII as a Frogman on an Amphibious Transport Ship in the Pacific Ocean. After serving our country Tony went to Work for Charles Switzer Construction, then partnered with Bill Scheffert to form Paglia & Scheffert Construction and eventually his own business, Paglia Construction.
We will remember Tony as a great Storyteller and for his uncanny sense of humor and wit. He had the keen ability to capture your attention when describing the details of his life stories. There was never a project that Tony wouldn’t tackle. He was a Handyman, tinkerer, jack-of-all-trades and most importantly a mentor, sharing his extensive knowledge with friends and family.
Tony enjoyed stock car racing, fishing, antiques, horses, flea marketing. He loved traveling to see family and especially loved his travel to Arkansas, Colorado and California.
He was true example of unconditional love and taught us the importance of family, hard work, kindness, tolerance, generosity, forgiveness and love. He had a strong devotion towards his children and grandchildren.
