He was the beloved husband of sixty years to Florence Agresta DiPiro. Tony was born in Derby on September 4, 1937, son of the late Luigi and Gulia DiPiro. A lifelong resident of Ansonia, he was employed as an engineer/air frame supervisor at Sikorsky Aircraft in Stratford for forty-four years, until his retirement in 1999. Tony was kind, generous, fun to be around and was always there for his family. He loved to cook and was especially known for his delicious "poppy's meatballs."

Duhamel, USMC of Bethany, Petty Officer 3rd Class Lucas J. Duhamel, USN of Norfolk, VA, Jon DiPiro and Sofia DiPiro of Beacon Falls; several nieces and nephews and canine buddy, Lily. He was predeceased by a brother, Lawrence DiPiro. Relatives and friends are invited to greet the family and pay their respects on Tuesday, November 29, 2022, from 9:00 to 10:30 am in the chapel of the SPINELLI-RICCIUTI/BEDNAR-OSIECKI FUNERAL HOME, 62 Beaver Street in Ansonia.

Dear Flo. I was very sad
to read about Tony's passing. He was a good friend of mine for 80 years. We grew up together on Beaver st. Went to Lincoln school and ansonia high together. We enlisted in the army together and as you know was a friend when he met you. Even though I've out of state for 50 years we still met over the years. I extend my deepest sympathy to you and your family. Tony and you will be in my prayers. God bless you. GuidoDeMelis
