John Anthony "Tony" Bartolotta

John Anthony (Tony) Bartolotta, age 58, beloved husband, father, and grandfather GG was called to be with the Lord Jesus Christ on March 9, 2016. He was born on April 18, 1957 in Burbank, CA to Giovanni (John) and Maria (Mary) Bartolotta. Tony is survived by his wife of 27 years, Patricia Bartolotta; son, Keith (Cindy) Paulus; daughters, Tracy (Matthew) Fawver, Tiffany (Edwin) Quintana, Talia (Andrew) Houser; grandchildren, Tyler, Shayla, Lilliana, Ryley, Garrett, Elizabeth, Greyson, Kinsley, Oliver; and sister, Linda Bothwell; and niece Blair O'Neill. Tony was raised in Orange County California and spent much of his childhood at the beach. In his early twenties he attended Arizona Automotive Institute and then relocated to Albuquerque to be closer to his parents. Here he met his wife, Tricia in 1986. Here he also began his long career in Real Estate. He was a true champion and leader in this field, becoming a founding member of Superior Mortgage Services in 1994 and RE/MAX Alliance Realtors in 1998 where he served as owner/broker until his death. Tony loved spending time with his family and friends, working in his yard, grilling, playing golf, traveling the world, and swimming in the Sea of Cortez with his grandchildren. He loved the beauty of God's creation - taking much joy in the mountains, oceans, and sunsets with those he loved. He will be greatly missed. According to God's grace in Jesus, we look forward to seeing him again in the New Heavens and the New Earth. We love you Giovanni Antonio Bartolotta. Services will be held Monday, March 21, 2016, 10:00 a.m. at Desert Springs Church, 705 Osuna Rd, Albuquerque, NM 87113.
