Anthony L. Mezzacca, 75, passed away on July 2, 2026, at Morristown Medical Center surrounded by his family. Born in Summit, NJ, Anthony moved to Madison, NJ, as a 6 year old child and lived most of his life in Madison.

He photographed and established friendships with many great drivers including Mario Andretti, Paul Newman, Mark Donohue, David Donohue, Dan Gurney, Derek Bell, Michael Keyser, Al Holbert, and many more.

His photographs have been published in many auto racing books and magazines over the years. Tony (as he liked to be called) has collaborated with many authors of auto racing books including Dr. Sean Cridland.

Anthony is survived by his sister, Ann Marie Mezzacca-Berlino and her husband Frank, Naperville, IL. He is also survived by his nephews, Jason Mezzacca, Marc Mezzacca and his wife, Tamar, and his nieces, Kristina Berlino-Violick and her husband, Kevin, and Jacyln Berlino-Duszynski and her husband, Joe, as well as four great nieces and one great nephew.
