He was born on January 18, 1954 in Lewes, DE, son of the late William George and Josephine Mary (Merkel) Sing. Tony was a Beebe baby and one of the first graduates from Cape Henlopen High School, Class of 1971.

Tony also dedicated 30 plus years as a specialty finish carpenter with Hoenen & Mitchell Custom Builders in Lewes. He loved to cook and was an avid woodworker. Tony enjoyed fishing, crabbing, sports, surfing, and all things outdoors. Sundays were his favorite day; they were spent BBQing at the drive-on beach surrounded by the ones he loved. Tony was known for his big smile and witty sense of humor. Tony loved being a dad and for the past 5 years he loved being a Grandfather. Tony was a loving and devoted husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, and friend who will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
