Anthony Bargellini, 57 years old, of New Milford, New Jersey, passed away Monday, October 5, 2020. Born in Englewood, Anthony was raised in Hackensack before moving to New Milford. He was a graduate of Bergen Catholic High School and went on to earn a BA in Italian and Philosophy graduating summa cum laude from Fordham University. His passion for music and opera led him to further his studies at the Manhattan School of Music. He performed in numerous Ridgewood Gilbert and Sullivan productions, and for 20 years joyfully served in the choir and cantered at the Cathedral Basilica of the Sacred Heart, Newark, NJ. He worked at the United States Postal Service in Harrington Park, NJ where he befriended many of his regular customers.

Anthony was predeceased by his late father Ralph Bargellini in 1974 and his stepfather Joseph Ricciardone in 2014.
