Resident of Norwalk Anthony J. Amato III, age 58, loving husband of Noreen DePanfilis Amato, passed away March 4th at Norwalk Hospital. In addition to his wife Noreen, he leaves a daughter Jenny and a son Anthony. Tony was born on March 21, 1956 in Norwalk to the late Anthony J. Amato, Jr. & Virginia Lewis Amato.

After graduation from Staples High School, Tony earned an Associate's Degree in Mechanical Engineering and played football with the Yonkers Packers Semi-Pro Team for several years. He enjoyed coaching for several Norwalk Youth Organizations and was an active member of the Round Hill Volunteer Fire Company of Greenwich.
