Nicholas A. Anzuoni Jr.

Nicholas A. Anzuoni Jr. passed away on December 13, 2024 at age of 91.
Born in Winthrop, Nick grew up in Everett. He graduated from Everett High School in 1951 and later joined the Navy. Nick was discharged from the Navy in 1954 and married his high school sweetheart Olga in 1955. He later joined the Everett Police Department and served as a patrolman for over 20 years. Nick and Olga raised their family in Everett and celebrated 69 years of marriage this past July.
Nick was a very simple guy. He worked hard to provide for his family and he loved his time with them. Annual vacations in Conway, NH hold dear memories. Fishing, hiking, swimming in the Swift River, canoeing down the Saco River, and pretty much any other outdoor activity there was. Then came the grandchildren. Papa Nick loved spending time with his grandchildren. The Stone Zoo and Friendly's were popular spots, as, long as you got there early so you didn't have to wait. Nick loved to fish and would go anytime he could. He loved to eat, 7am, 12pm and 5pm like clockwork. Early to bed and early to rise to get the most out of the day. And in the evening, he enjoyed watching Abbott and Costello, MASH, and old westerns to name a few. He was a regular at Stop and Shop, arriving first thing in the morning to beat the crowd, and was also a regular at the florist. Birthdays, holidays and sometimes just because, there were flowers, especially red roses brought home to his Olga. Nick was a strong and proud man who overcame many obstacles, a near fatal fall, cancer and heart failure. He fought with all his might to the very end until his body finally gave out and he found peace. He will be fondly remembered and greatly missed by all who knew him.
Nick leaves his loving wife of 69 years Olga (Fonzi) and his four children Nicolas "Rusty" Anzuoni and his wife Nina of Colrain, MA, Steven Anzuoni and his wife Tracy of Plymouth, MA and Robert Anzuoni of Aiken, SC and his daughter Gina Spadafora and her husband Anthony of Malden. He was blessed with seven grandchildren, Michael Anzuoni, Derek Anzuoni and his wife Rachel, Lily Anzuoni, Nikolai Anzuoni, Nico Spadafora, Eden Anzuoni and Gianna Spadafora as well as two great-grandchildren, Emmett and Camden Anzuoni. Nick was the brother of Gail Middleton of Everett and Sandra Chisholm and her husband John of Saugus, and the late Jacqueline Dumas. He is also survived by a great number of nieces and nephews,
The funeral will be held from the A. J. Spadafora Funeral Home, 865 Main Street, Malden on Wednesday, December 18th at 9am followed by a Mass of Christian Burial at St. Anthony's Church, 38 Oakes Street, Everett at 10am.
