Description
To honor Chief Cuda, it is requested that community members meet in the Municipal Parking lot at 11 a.m. on Friday, November 3rd to support Tony's family and fellow public safety workers. Suggestions include saluting as the procession drives past, making posters, honking horns, or simply waving flags or hands. Tony's family and fellow public safety workers are heartbroken and will benefit greatly from as much support as possible. We thank you for your consideration.
On October 28th, 2023, the EMS community lost a true beacon of dedication, compassion, and leadership.
Anthony “Tony” Del Cuda was born on April 3rd, 1969 in Swissvale, Pennsylvania. From humble beginnings, Tony left behind a legacy of unparalleled contributions and impact, serving as a benchmark for excellence and a source of inspiration for generations to come. From a young age, Tony had always dreamed of becoming a first responder and as a testament to his decorated career, he accomplished that and beyond by setting the standard.
From 2013 through 2023, Tony served as a response medic for AHN Prehospital Services, expanding his expertise and leadership to Westmoreland County. In March 2020, Tony joined Foxwall EMS as Deputy Chief and in August 2020, Tony became the Chief of Department. In the short three years Tony served as Chief at Foxwall, he transformed the service from a historically volunteer-based and largely basic life support (BLS) service to a fully staffed advanced life support (ALS) service that continuously rises to meet the needs of the community. In 2023, with Tony’s guidance and support, Foxwall proudly announced 8 newly certified paramedics.
