Anthony A Perugini
December 7, 1925 — May 16, 2025
Anthony A Perugini “Tony”, 99, a resident of Stamford, CT, passed away on May 16, 2025.
Tony was born on December 7, 1925 in Stamford, the son of the late Amalia & Antonio Perugini.
He served as a Corporal in the US Army in Germany following World War II and upon his discharge married his wife Yolanda to whom he remained devoted for 62 years.
Tony spent 30 years working as a dedicated Plant Manager at Marvel Oil Company in Port Chester, NY. He was a 3 rd Degree Member of the Knights of Columbus, Council 41, Stamford.
Second only to his family, Tony’s lifelong love was art. He was formally trained at both the Art Students League in New York City and the Cape Ann Art School of Rockport, Mass beginning in 1947 and remained an avid painter throughout his life. Tony took great pride in honing his skills in a converted barn where he created and showcased much of his work culminating in 1962 with a one man show at the Stamford Museum and Nature Center. As a self-identified contemporary fine artist, Tony specialized in nature landscapes using oils, watercolors and acrylics which are represented today in many public and private collections. His unique creativity extended into handcrafted antique car models which he sketched and built to scale in intricate detail using a wide array of metals and wood.
Tony is survived by his daughter, Judy (Perugini) Coppola, his sister Angelina (Angie) Fabricatore, his furry companion, Daisy and many loving members of his extended family.
Tony is predeceased by his wife, Yolanda and son-in-law, Theodore (Ted) Coppola.
Family and friends will be received on Friday, May 23rd from 9 am to 11 am at Lacerenza Macari Family Funeral Home, 8 Schuyler Avenue, Stamford, CT. A Funeral Mass will be held at 11:30 am at Sacred Heart Church, 37 Schuyler Avenue, Stamford, CT. Burial will immediately follow at St. John’s Cemetery, 25 Camp Avenue, Darien, CT.
The family extends its deepest gratitude to the Cardiology Unit at Stamford Hospital for their compassionate care and dedication.
