NEW HARTFORD/MELBOURNE BEACH, FL– Anthony “Tony” A. Korrie, 87, passed away at home on Friday, July 31, 2020. Tony was born on May 19, 1933, the son of Abraham and Susan (Nackley) Korrie. He was a 1951 graduate of UFA and a US Army veteran. On April 19, 1958, Tony married Florence Grizzuto at St. Louis Gonzaga Church. They shared a blessed union of 56 years prior to her passing on August 18, 2014. After graduating high school, Tony entered the construction workforce as a carpenter. He was promoted within and eventually became owner and president of H.R. Beebe from 1976 to 1998. He was very active in MVBE as a trustee of union funds, as well as a Rotarian. Tony was very proud of the many construction projects he completed and would point out his company’s work as he drove by them. Tony was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather. He lived his life according to a high moral code, leading by example, and will be remembered for being ethical, fair, honest, and hardworking. He was self-frugal but generous with others.

Many days at 2 p.m. sharp the financial summits took place in the pool. He was a fan of tennis, fishing, shrimping, and finding carpentry projects.
