Samuel Anzalone Obituary

On August 2,2024 Samuel M. Anzalone, Sr., age 83, surrounded by his family, passed peacefully after a long battle with dementia. Sam was the beloved husband, of 60 beautiful years, to Barbara Kiggins Anzalone.

He is survived by his daughter Kimberly McBain, her spouse Mark, and his son Samuel Anzalone Jr. and spouse Charlee. His four grandchildren, Kelsey, Kevin, Kira and Sydney, as well as one great-granddaughter McKenna and a great grandson due in November. Sam was born in Baltimore, MD in 1941 to the late John Anzalone and Loretta Platt Anzalone. He was preceded in death by his older brother John Anzalone Jr. He is also survived by his sister-in-law Betty, his younger brothers, Thomas Anzalone and James Anzalone and his spouse Deborah, as well as a large extended family and many friends.

Sam served in the US Navy for two years as a barber on the naval ships. Following his naval service, he married his sweetheart Barbara in 1964. Sam built a very successful barbershop in Lutherville, MD, Sam's Barber & Styling that is still going strong 55 years later. What started as a two man shop has grown to a twelve-person business that his son-in-law Mark McBain has owned for the last 20 years. Sam was well loved in the Lutherville area for his infectious personality and skill as a barber serving many generations. Sam was an avid boater and fisherman on the Chesapeake Bay and Atlantic Ocean.

A Cremation followed his death and services in Ocean City, MD and Timonium, MD are planned. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made in Samuel's name to The Alzheimer's Association (www.act.alz.org). Letters of condolence can be sent to the family via www.burbagefuneralhome.com (http://www.burbagefuneralhome.com/). Arrangements are in care of The Burbage Funeral Home Berlin, MD.

Desire to share that my son, Troy and I had the pleasure of sitting in Sam's chair at his barbershop for over 35
years in Lutherville.

And yes, at 7am in the morning, Sam
exhibited that smile and gregarious nature that made you feel like
a VIP, as he did will all his loyal patrons.

Sure, Sam had you looking your best
with your fresh haircut, yet too, you enjoyed his conversations that were both personal and re current happenings across the board,

Sam you were truly "Grande Amico".
Troy and I always enjoyed your
"slants" in life and your unsurpassed
kindness and authenticity.

It was a true pleasure for Troy and I to have befriended you, Paisano.
Godspeed !
