Bruce Anton Obituary
Bruce was employed as a carpenter in the construction industry for many years. God took Bruce from this earth, taking him to a happier place. He loved people and was a true and loyal friend to all. He was a compassionate person and took great pride in his workmanship as a carpenter. He was a "jack of all trades" he could do it all. He would give his last dime for someone in need, even if he needed it. He was humble with a huge heart, quiet in his own way and a fighter throughout his life. He would always reminisce of all his friends that passed on. He loved to be outdoors, boating, fishing, and camp fires with family and friends. He was an original member of the Sons of American Legion in New London. He is survived by his son, Josh J. Anton and stepson, Andrew Sligar both of New London; his five siblings, Daniel Anton, Jr. of Old Lyme, Mark Anton of Pa., Andrew Anton of Salem, Laura Anton of Uncasville, Gina Anton of New London; and many nieces and nephews.
His family will receive relatives and friends from 7 to 9 p.m. Friday at the Impellitteri-Malia Funeral Home, 84 Montauk Ave., New London.
Interment will be private.

Bruce was a very good friend of mine since I was a little girl trying to sneak up the stairs and listen in on what he, my brother and their friends were up to! I used to make them sandwiches just so I could sit in and laugh with them! I find comfort knowing he'll see my brother again and they'll be as they were in life, Great friends! Love you Bruce, Robyin

Gina & the entire Anton family,
I was so sorry to hear of Bruce passing. He is my age and that is way to young to leave this earth. God must have bigger plans for him. I remember so many good times living in Fort Trumbull and spending our days playing together with all of you. I will keep you all in my prayers.
RIP Bruce
