Tony was a wonderful husband, father and grandfather. His family meant everything to him. He was proud to call New Britain his lifelong home. Tony retired from the New Britain Public Works Dept. after 44 years. He was a devoted community volunteer for NBGH, St. John the Evangelist Church, NB Elks, Fidelco, Race for the Cure, St. Maurice senior lunches, and Muddy Brook School. One of the many highlights of his life was playing at the Orange Bowl with his 1955 NBHS state champion football team and sharing a life long friendship with his three buddies, Harry, Lenny, and Pat.
