Anthony M. Frasca 1966-2025

He was born Nov. 1, 1966, in Warren, the son of Mike R. Frasca and Claudia J. Cox, who survive.

Tony was a lifelong resident of Niles, where he was born and raised, and also lived in Las Vegas for 20 years before returning to his hometown. While in Las Vegas, he worked as a sales representative for Atlas Van Lines for two decades.

A 1985 graduate of Niles McKinley High School, Tony was an exceptional baseball player who earned first-team All-Steel-Valley honors his senior year.

One of the highlights of his life was attending the New York Yankees fantasy camp in 2015 with his cousin, Michael, where both were named to the All-Star team out of 175 players. The two were so inseparable that Michael’s mother, Arlene, fondly nicknamed them “Frick and Frack.”

Tony was known for his passion for collecting everything from sports memorabilia to pinball machines. His home was like a museum of treasures, reflecting his lifelong enthusiasm for collecting.

He was remembered by family and friends as having the spirit of a 16-year-old — always ready with a practical joke and a smile that could light up any room.

Private services will be held at Holloway-Williams Funeral Home, which is handling arrangements.
