It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Michael F. Anziano Jr, on July 17, 2024. Born on January 24, 1944, Michael was a lifelong resident of Stratford and later on Bridgeport CT.

He was a member of St. Mark Parish as an usher, ran the car raffles and volunteered his time for over 40 years.  Michael was also the manager of the Anzy's Slow Pitch League,  which aligned with his love for all sports.  Saratoga was an annual destination for Michael and his dear friends.
