He spent 23 years in the United States Navy serving his country during the World War II, Korea and the Vietnam Wars. He retired as a Chief Petty Officer in 1967. Many may remember "Tony" from his second career as a Toll Taker on the Benicia-Martinez Bridge. He worked there for 17 years and retired as Sergeant a second time 1986. Tony will be remembered by all as a fun loving man who had many colorful stories to tell, from his childhood spent with his siblings in Stockton and Tracy, working on the Railroad with his father and duck hunting with his cousins. He especially loved sharing his many experiences in the Navy such as stories from being a Mess Hall Supervisor and bringing in lobster for the troops, his experiences as Hospital Corpsman and being tutored in Pharmacy by a German POW, and being in the first Wave to make the Inchon Landing on "D-Day" in South Korea, in addition to the many escapades he seemed to always get himself into - all from a humorous and michevious perspective. Tony was a 43 year parishinor of St. Dominic’s Church, loved fishing and was a huge Giants fan. He was preceded in death by his parents, Antonio Mathias Azevedo and Clara Lewis Azevedo.
