Obituary of Anthony J. Gorgol

Anthony “Tony” Gorgol, 76, of Freehold, passed away peacefully at his home on Friday, June 19, 2026 after a long battle with leukemia.

Born in Scranton, Pennsylvania, Anthony was raised in Newark NJ, eventually lived in Sayreville NJ, and then settled with his family in East Brunswick.  He then made Freehold his home in 2012.

Tony was an Executive Vice President of Foreign Exchange for Tradition North America in New York City and was also affiliated with Tradition Foreign Exchange in Chilie, Columbia, Brazil and Mexico City. He reluctantly retired from a job that he excelled at and loved at the age of 59 due to leukemia caused by Sept. 11^th.  

A dedicated 1950’s and 60’s NY Yankee fan, with Mickey Mantle being his childhood idol, he was also an avid collector of vintage memorabilia and also loved restoring Corvettes from the 1960’s.

All through his life he had a special joy in his heart, never forgetting his childhood in Newark in the Orange St.- Sussex Ave.- Hudson St. area. Tony also served as an altar boy at St. Augustine’s Church.

Tony was predeceased by his parents, Anthony Sr. and Mary Gorgol. He is survived by his loving wife, Thomasina “Toni” Gorgol who was the love of his life for 61 years; his two cherished daughters, Andrea Gorgol of Manalapan and Jennifer Marvul and her husband, Michael, of Manhattan, NY; his cherished grandsons, Anthony and Eli; his brother, Joseph Gorgol; and many extended family members, nieces and nephews, and dear friends.

Above all else, Tony was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend. A hardworking man, he dedicated his life to caring for his family, who were the center of his world. His love, tremendous generosity, and unwavering commitment to those he cherished will be deeply missed and forever remembered.
