IN MEMORIAM
Anthony “Tony” DePaula, Jr.
We, at Equine Advocates are mourning the loss of Anthony “Tony” DePaula who passed away on October 16, 2019. He was a wonderful friend and supporter of our organization, as well as a philanthropist and supporter of many causes for which he would raise money through his famous “Drive for a Cause” campaigns in Saratoga every year.
Tony was a regular attendee at our Annual Awards Dinner & Charity Auction events in Saratoga Springs. He was feisty, gregarious and always seemed to enjoy himself whenever he was doing something for others.
Tony hailed from Schenectady and opened his first car dealership, DePaula Chevrolet, in Albany in 1980. Over the years, his business expanded to include multiple dealerships that all became part of the DePaula Family Auto Group.
Tony loved horses and was involved with them on many levels – in sport as well supporting non-profit organizations that protected them.
We feel extremely privileged and fortunate to have known Tony DePaula.
We wish to express our deepest condolences and sympathy to his family and friends. He will be sorely missed.
