"Anthony A. Alosi, a photographer who lived for his family, his camera and his fellow workers, died Tuesday at his home in Brigantine, N.J., after a five-year battle with cancer. He was 68. A native of Philadelphia who was educated in city schools and lived for many years in East Oak Lane, Alosi spent 31 years as an advertising art department photographer for the Daily News and Inquirer. "He would go out to the car agencies, the homes - anything that was advertised, and he would photograph them," said his wife of nearly 30 years, Florence Nelson Alosi. Photography was also his main hobby, she said. "He had gotten a huge enlarger right before he retired, in March 1990. He was going to make a huge closet we have into a darkroom. But in June of that year, he got the word that he had terminal cancer. He never got around to making the darkroom, and he donated the enlarger to Stockton State College in Pomona." It was his Army duty during World War II that got Alsoi some photographic experience, she said, working with the Army newspaper in Hawaii. "He was an avid boater. We owned a boat that he named 'Miss Florence,' and he did all the work on the motor and all of it himself. But when he became ill, he sold it when he realized he couldn't handle it any more," his wife said. "My husband was St. Anthony the Second," she said. "He was the most loving, devoted man I think God ever gave a woman. There was never a man who didn't like Tony Alosi." He was a union shop steward, who "never stopped talking union," his wife said. Alosi was a member of the Brigantine Elks Club and St. Thomas Roman Catholic Church. In addition to his wife, he is survived by four daughters, Elaine Bellin, Claire Kunhle, Patricia Gipe and Lorraine Yankovich; two sons, Philip and Vincent; three sisters; 12 grandchildren, and four great-grandchildren. Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 10 a.m. tomorrow at St. Thomas Church, 8th Street and Brigantine Avenue in Brigantine. Burial will be in Holy Sepulchre Cemetery, Cheltenham Avenue above Easton Road, Cheltenham.
