Anthony R. Salzarulo's Obituary
Anthony R. Salzarulo, 72, of Stafford Springs, CT left us to be with his Eternal Father in heaven on June 27, 2026. He was the son of Ralph and Constance Salzarulo and son-in-law of Richard and Carolyn Osborn. Anthony worked at Pratt and Whitney as a Union Machinist. Once retired after 35 years he continued on with his love for training rescue pit bulls and sharing the love for everything outdoors with his dogs. It is very rare to see a man as dedicated and loving to his family as Anthony. He put his family first in every aspect of his life; He led by example in order to ensure his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren understood that Faith and Family come first. As soon as Anthony would start laughing it would become contagious and the whole room would erupt.
He was an avid New York Giants fan with a passion for spending time by the ocean, cooking, fishing, clamming, hunting pheasant and gardening. He worked diligently so that his family could enjoy a week at "The Beach House" all together each summer since 2007.
