Anthony Tucci Obituary
Anthony C. Tucci, age 55 of Trumbull, beloved husband of Sandra Sementilli Tucci, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, April 20, 2021 with his loving family by his side. He fought a courageous battle with brain cancer. Born in Bridgeport on August 28, 1965, he was the youngest son of Anna Marino Tucci and the late Luigi Tucci. "Tooch" was a 1983 graduate of Notre Dame High School in Fairfield and later graduated from Fairfield University. He also earned his MBA from the University of Bridgeport. He was currently employed as a Senior Director of IT at DFC Global Corporation. Anthony was a very hard-working man; he enjoyed working in the yard tending to his garden and picking wild mushrooms. He especially put his creative juices to use and became a wine enthusiast. His passion for basketball was contagious. Above all things in life, his family was the most important. He instilled a strong work ethic, taught many life lessons to them and always said, "Proper Planning Prevents Poor Performance". These values he taught and the memories they created will live on forever. Anthony was a gallant and amazing human being who touched the hearts of so many people. He will be sorely missed!
In addition to his beloved wife of 28 years Sandra, and his mother, survivors include his cherished children, Alessandro Tucci and Claudia Tucci both of Trumbull, a brother Angelo Tucci and his wife Deborah, father and mother-in-law, Mario and Maria Sementilli, brother-in-law, John Sementilli and his wife Linda, nephews and nieces, Angelo Tucci and his wife Caroline Schiff, Jessica Tucci and her fiancé Daniel Varga, Robert Sementilli and Nick Sementilli, as well as many cousins and numerous friends.

To the entire Tucci family:
So sorry to hear of the news of your husband and dads passing and we offer our sincerest condolences at this time. I worked with him at GE and even though he was never my boss he had plenty to say and the advice on his end was "always free" - just a great guy and he will be missed...

Please accept my sincere condolences on the loss of your husband. Almost 6 months ago, on October 29th, 2020, I too lost my husband to brain cancer. Had no physical problems, strong as can be, but at 87 he developed a glioblastoma brain tumor. He did in a little over 2 months. I still am devastated by this loss. We were married 61 years, and when I s aw him in church at 16 years old (he was 23), I knew this man would be the love of my life -- and he was. If you ever want to talk to me, my phone number is 203-375-6486. You can read about in the ConnPost in the November 3rd edition. Again, I am sorry for your los

Dear Tucci Family and Friends,
I am so saddened to learn about Tony's passing. We spent four years as classmates at Notre Dame High School (Class of 1983) and he was a kind and wonderful guy, loved and respected by many. He's gone too young and soon. May your wonderful memories bring you great comfort during this time of grief and sadness. Rest easy Tooch. May the Lord watch over your loved ones.

Sandra, Alessandro & Claudia,
my heartfelt condolences to you and the entire Tucci family. I didn’t know Anthony well but I knew Anthony well enough to know he was a wonderful man based on how much he was loved and respected by his family, friends and the kids he coached.
RIP Anthony and God bless.

Dear Tucci Family.
I was saddened to read of your Father’s passing. On behalf of the Gelmetti family, we offer our condolences.
Our paths crossed in September 1979, as “tall” freshmen at Notre Dame. Mr. Baye, our gym teacher asked us if we were going to play basketball. Teasing each other with jokes back and forth. We both would joke on Friday’s lunch at ND because they served pizza slices. Hey – if it’s Wednesday, it’s Prince Spaghetti day – HEY ANTHONY!!
Our paths would cross here and there, as we chose to raise our families in Trumbull. In the fall of 2010, we befriended each other again at back-to-school night. Our kids would be attending ND, walking the same hallways as we did decades earlier.
Gli abbracci di un papà sono sempre duraturi. Che Dio vi benedica.
Our thoughts are with you at this time, and focus on the positive things he instilled on each one of you.
John (Jack) Gelmetti - ND 83, P-2014, 2020.
