Anthony C. Young

GUILDERLAND – Anthony C. “Bo/Chef Young” Young, 75, passed away on Sunday, November 8, 2026, at St. Peter’s Hospital. He was born on May 14, 1951, in Glens Falls, NY, to the late Carmel and Margaret Fusco Young. After graduating from high school, Anthony began a lifelong career in the culinary field. He worked at numerous restaurants throughout the Glens Falls area, owned a bakery in Hudson Falls, and held chef and executive chef positions at The Sagamore, Turf Inn on Wolf Road, IBM in Poughkeepsie, and other establishments. He eventually retired from SUNY Cobleskill, where he ran the production bakery for over 15 years and shared his passion for baking as a culinary instructor. Anthony had a passion for helping others, volunteering with Meals on Wheels, and cooking for Family Promise, and St. John’s/St. Ann’s Outreach Center. His generosity extended beyond his volunteer work, as he was always willing to lend a helping hand without hesitation or expectation of anything in return. To know Anthony was to love him. He had a heart of gold, and his kindness and selflessness touched countless lives. He enjoyed cheering on the New York Yankees, walking his dogs, camping, and attending his daughter’s horse shows. Above all, Anthony treasured his family and the memories they shared. He will be remembered for his incredible talent in the kitchen, his generous spirit, and the love he so freely gave to others. In addition to his parents, Anthony was predeceased by his brother-in-law, Winston Riley.

Anthony is survived by his loving wife, Lisa Young; his daughter, Nicole Young; his siblings, Mary Riley, Dominic (Roseanne) Young, Fred (Beth) Young, and Christine (Brian) Scalzo; his brother-in-law Steven Malley; and his nephews and nieces, Christopher (Jennifer) Riley, Gina (Wallace) Adams-Riley, Nathan (Kathy) Young, Andrea Smith, and Matthew Young; as well as many great-nieces and nephews.
