Anthony Bonomo Obituary

Anthony P. Bonomo (Schling), 82, of Yatesville, passed away Friday morning, Sept. 29, 2023, at home after years of a courageous battle with cancer.

Born in Yatesville, he was the son of the late Frank (Che-Che) Sr. and Eleanor (Borum) Bonomo.

After graduating from Jenkins Twp.-Yatesville Borough Joint High School, he attended Wilkes-Barre Business College.

Anthony served 33 years in the Yatesville Police Department, 31½ of them as chief of police. He served 24½ years of military service in the U.S. Army, Pennsylvania Army National Guard 109th Field Artillery staff sergeant. He also was a member of the Yatesville Volunteer Fire Department for 30 years, attending fire school in 1968, and 14 years as secretary of the fire department.

Anthony drove a truck for Bonomo Trucking & Top Soil, owned by his father, Frank Bonomo Sr. He was last employed by KTL Trucking, owned by Janet & Stanley Kuna in Pittston Twp.

Anthony is a lifelong car enthusiast. Restoring cars was his passion and greatest hobby. He was an active member as well as a charter/founding member of Pocono Mountain Street Rod car club, a charter member of the National DeSoto car club, and the Edsel International car club.

He loved his country and the flag, always displaying his flag at his front door and only purchasing American-made vehicles.

He was a member of St. Joseph Marello Parish, Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church, Pittston, serving as an usher for many years.

The Avenue Restaurant in Wyoming was a home away from home, from the delicious meals to the wonderful staff who treated him like family and his dearest friendships with Elizabeth and Rebeckah. Lombardo's was part of his daily routine for coffee and the newspaper. He enjoyed seeing Tamika daily.
