STAMFORD, Vt. — Anthony "Tony" Luczynski, 86, passed away peacefully on Monday, November 26, 2018, at his home in Boynton Beach, Florida.

He was born in Adams, Mass., on September 4, 1932, son of the late Anthony and Marya (Szepety). He attended Stamford Elementry School and graduated from Drury High School.
