Warren Jones

Warren Edward Jones, age 89, of Rome, passed away on March 2, 2026, at the Wynn Hospital in Utica with his son, Andrew, at his bedside.

Warren was born in Utica on December 25, 1936, to Newton Rees and Blanche Biancani Jones. He earned his bachelor's degree from St. Lawrence University and master's degree from Colgate University. On September 22, 1968, he was united in marriage to Judith Goessling. They both taught in the Rome School District for over 35 years.

Warren loved sports. There seemed to be few he did not play well, and even fewer that he could not watch with an expert's eye. He followed closely the exploits of his children and grandchildren in rugby, ice hockey, tennis, field hockey, soccer, and whitewater canoe racing. He was a lifelong fan of Philadelphia teams having grown up following the Phillies' minor league baseball team in Utica. Nevertheless, he left enough room to root for the Buffalo Bills and Carolina Hurricanes.

He had a quick and analytical mind. As a young adult, he was a skilled navigator on a local road rally team-using only paper, pencil and clock to accurately calculate routes and make checkpoints. When dining out, it was useless to pull out a calculator to determine a tip; Warren already had the answer before you could press a button. This made him exceedingly daunting to play cards against though he was an excellent partner. He was extraordinarily patient in explaining how he did all these things even when it seemed hopeless that the explanation would take. While his love of bridge will pass with him, his love of mathematics and problem-solving is well-represented in his descendants.

Warren had a strong sense of fairness and belief in teamwork. Something that stood him in good stead as a negotiator for the Rome Teachers' Union and as president of St. John's Lutheran Church Congregation.

His favorite place was the Canadian lake cottage that he and his family would frequent. It was there that memories were made with the friends and family he cherished the most.

Warren is survived by his loving wife, Judy; his children, Eric (April) Jones, Sara (Steven) Swartz, and Andrew (Heidi) Jones; his grandchildren, Sam, Phoebe, Tyler, Paige, Henry, and Edward; his twin sisters, Marie (Jerry) Duink and Carol Kunkel, who helped care for him; and many nieces, nephews, and dear friends. He was predeceased by his brothers, Richard and Norman Jones, and his godchild, Cheryl Bassett.

Warren's funeral will be held on Thursday, March 5, 2026, at 12 PM at St. John's Lutheran Church, 502 W. Chestnut Street, Rome. Burial will be in Evergreen Cemetery in the spring.

Relatives and friends may pay their respects from 10 AM to 12 PM at St. John's Lutheran Church prior to the funeral.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to St. Lawrence University (https://www.givecampus.com/w7uf4s) or the Kelberman Center (https://www.kelberman.org/giving/donate/).

Funeral arrangements have been entrusted to the Barry Funeral Home, 807 W. Chestnut Street, Rome.

Anthony J. Pisano

Anthony J. Pisano, age 57, of Rome, passed away peacefully at home on February 2, 2026, with his loving family at his side, after a brief illness.

Anthony was born in Utica on January 24, 1969, to his father, John, and mother, Lorraine Rizzo-Pisano. He earned his associate's degree from Ashford University in Criminal Justice. He was very well known for his carpentry skills as well. He worked for PPL as a home health aide. He cared for his patients with such love and help. His hobbies were playing billiards, fishing with his brother from "another mother," Clem Atchley, doing crossword puzzles, playing chess with his wife and monopoly with his granddaughter, Daryan, collecting movie memorabilia and playing darts. He loved older western shows, horror movies, and history shows! He was a man of many passions. One of his favorite passions was spending many years learning how to cook! It truly was one of his favorite passions. He was such a loving and warm man. He would give the shirt off his back to help another in need!

Anthony is survived by his loving wifey, as he would always call her, of 25 years, Kienne Angela; his mother, Lorraine and step-father, Andrew Reiner; his daughters, Marisa Pisano and Abigail Pisano; two step-children, Katherine and Dakota Herne; ten beautiful grandchildren that he adored; his aunt, Rockie; Michael Pisano; and aunt, Phyllis LoVecchio (whom without the help of and support of not only emotionally but mentally this obituary of a very loved man would not have been possible), many cousins; and his best female friend, Anita Atchley. He was predeceased by his father, John and wife, Darlene Pisano; his loving maternal grandmother, Antoinette, and grandfather Tony Rizzo; his paternal grandparents, Lawrence Pisano and Margaret, his uncle, Lawrence Pisano; as well as uncle, Al Napoli. He was also predeceased by his step niece Lacy Lynn Hurwitz; and his wife's Mother: Mother Mary Timothy, Sister Mary Presentation, and Sister Joel. All his wife's mothers raised her in a convent that he did also love and spoke to regularly, especially on Catholic Holidays.

In keeping with Anthony's wishes, services will be private for family and his closest friends (by invitation only). This will be a memorial service. He also requests that his favorite music be played in a low level of the background of his memorial service. His family requests any and all pictures they may have be brought to add to poster boards for the entire memorial service to look at and remember him with love (pictures will be returned after the service.) We also ask any donations be made to St. Jude Children's Cancer Hospital.

The date of his memorial service will be announced at a later time as some of his family that wish to attend live in other states and we must all coordinate the perfect timing. Hopefully May! A beautiful warm spring day.
