Anthony "Tony" E. Sing, age 66 of Lewes, DE, passed away on Tuesday, June 16, 2020 at his home. 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. He was an Indian River Inlet lifeguard early on and started his career working for NOAA as a surveyor. 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.
