Anthony (Tony) Negralle, 86, of Higganum, CT and Naples, FL, beloved husband of Donna Behm Negralle, passed away on Tuesday, September 9, 2025. Tony was born on September 17, 1938, in Middletown, CT to the late Albert and Barbara (Chaffee) Negralle. He grew up and spent most of his life in Higganum. After retirement, he wintered in Naples, FL where he made many cherished friendships in the Bay Forest community.

Tony was a graduate of Vinal Technical High School. He retired from Connecticut Light and Power as the Yard Supervisor for the Middletown, CT power plant after more than 35 years of dedicated service. Tony proudly served in the Army National Guard. He was a volunteer firefighter for both the Haddam and Chester volunteer fire departments. Tony was a member of the Middletown Elks Lodge and the Rev Masters Auto Club.

Tony lived by the values of hard work and integrity. He gave selflessly to others and was always quick to offer help. Most of all, Tony was happiest spending time with his family including many weekends at horse shows and motorcross races in the earlier years. He will be deeply missed.

Tony is survived by his wife Donna, daughter Elise Hayes (David), sons Mark (Carmen), Richard (Tammy) and Jeffrey. He is also survived by 5 grandchildren, 2 great grandchildren. Tony leaves behind his beloved dog Miley. He was predeceased by his brother Peter Negralle.
