Memorial Service for
Longtime Access Sacramento Producer & Volunteer
Tony Frontino
Access Sacramento's long time volunteer and TV show producer Tony Frontino passed away April 5 affer six-weeks in the hospital with complications from diabetes.
Frontino, 67, first became an Access Sacramento member and volunteer in 1998 and participated for many years as a member of the Toastmasters club that meets in the TV studio.
|
|  | |
Friends shared photos from Tony's coffee group, including their shared birthday parties and socials.
| |
Frontino began producing and cablecasting his own programs on April 2, 2009. He produced nearly 250 episodes for us under the names of "Move Your Mountains" and "Local Talent Showcase". In his spare time, he helped a variety of other producers create their content and share their experiences.
|
| |
Despite Saturday's rain, nearly 70 of Tony's friends gathered to tell stories of Tony's great compassion and giving spirit.
|
"Move Your Mountains," was a religious-based program that focused on spiritual topics and values. "Local Talent Showcase," was a program that focused on people and places in our Sacramento community. Some of the over 200 programs he produced covered topics from "Emergency Response" to "Opera Music" to "Christmas Specials" to "God and Religion" to "Pets and Animals" to "Arts and Literature." Some of his programs even featured music performances and children! All the while, touching the hearts and minds of many people and supplying important information all over the world!
Originally from New York, Frontino worked for PacBell / AT&T as a manager in the Sacramento area, and his friends tell stories of his generous spirit and kind heart.
|
| | |
Friends observed highlights from "Local Talent Showcase" as part of his memorial service and buffet.
| |
In addition to volunteering at Access Sacramento, Tony also had been a member of as many as eight Toastmaster's clubs at one time and he volunteered as an usher for many local theaters -- always appreciated for his great booming laugh. Tony performed for parties when needed as a red-nosed, funny-suited clown.
Frontino in the last three years had been a cornerstone for a casual breakfast-coffee social group that met almost daily at 6:30 a.m. at the Peet's Coffee station inside the Carmichael Raley's Supermarket.
Tony is survived by his brothers Jim and Louis, who attended the memorial service Saturday in Carmichael.
Repeats of his series "Local Talent Showcase," will continue to be seen on Tuesdays at 10:30pm, Wednesdays at 2:30pm, and Thursdays at 6:30am. We will continue to run his previously-produced content on the regular schedule through the end of this year!
