Anthony Joseph Amoroso, IV, known as Buddy Amoroso (December 5, 1956 – June 30, 2018), was a businessman in his native Baton Rouge, Louisiana, who at the time of his death was serving his second term on the Baton Rouge Metro Council as the representative for District 8. He was a Republican.[1]
The son of Anthony Amoroso, III, and Patricia Amoroso, he attended Broadmoor High School and graduated from the private Oral Roberts University in Tulsa, Oklahoma. He worked in his family business, Prime Properties. He was a founding member and co-chair of Baton Rouge Tax Busters. He was a board member of the East Baton Rouge Airport Commission and the Alcohol Beverage Control Board. He was the chairman of the Baton Rouge Apartment Association and had been president of the Apartment Association of Louisiana. In 2012, he ran unopposed for the Metro Council.[2] When he sought reelection in 2016, he polled 9,.489 votes (66 percent) against two Democratic opponents.[1] Councilman Amoroso sought to heal political divisions and to seek common-sense solutions to municipal and parish affairs. He worked to create the Smart City Committee to find ways to streamline government and used technology to improve traffic and supported body cameras for law-enforcement officers. At the time of his passing, he was seeking to develop a comprehensive reform of the Flood Plain Development Code.[2]
Amoroso and his wife of thirty-seven years, the former Denise Waters, have a son, Anthony, V, and two daughters, Elaine Swart (husband Thaddeaus) and Michal Ann Traina (husband Joshua). He died in St. Francisville in West Feliciana Parish north of Baton Rouge. Private services were to be held on July 6, 2018, at Christ Presbyterian Church, of which he was a member and deacon.[2]
