BIAMONTE, Antonio
It is with great sadness that our family announces the passing of Antonio (Tony) Francesco Biamonte. Predeceased by his parents Joe and Annina, his brother Don, and his loving wife Dorothy, Tony leaves to mourn his three daughters, Nancy (Murray) Sather, Lori-Merle (Bruce) Mohacsy, and Gina (Fred) Albert, and his three grandchildren, Derek Albert, Erin Albert, and Daniel Albert.
Tony made an indelible mark in the Radio and Television industry, first as a radio announcer for CKUA and later for CFRN, where he worked for over 20 years. He hosted the first television show to air across the country - the "Cross-Canada Barndance". After retiring from broadcasting, Tony spent 15 years teaching for the Radio and Television Arts program at NAIT, a second career that he truly loved. But his greatest joy and passion was his family. Tony adored his wife, three girls, and his grandchildren, a feeling that was joyfully reciprocated.
We wish to thank our second family, the care and administrative teams at Citadel Mews West in St. Albert. Words cannot express our gratitude.
A service to celebrate Tony's life will be held at Laurier Heights Baptist Church, 8505-142 Street, Edmonton, on Thursday, December 28 at 11 a.m.
You fought the good fight, you finished the race, you kept the faith. Arrivederci, Daddy. Ti amo.
In lieu of flowers donations can be made to the World Vision Clean Water campaign.

Lori and family,
Your father was a warm and friendly voice on the air and one whose soul seemed as pleasant as his person. I'm sure his family has similar traits.

Dear Lori, I just wanted to send my deepest condolences, to you and the whole Biamonte family, regarding the passing of your father.
I remember your telling us about your Dad, way back when we were at Grant MacEwan.
I heard about this, as there was an email sent through CKUA. He certainly was held in high regard.
You are in my thoughts.

Dear Nancy, Lori and Gina...I am sorry to know that your dear Dad has passed. Though I never got to meet him...I sure knew about his amazing broadcasting and teaching career.
