Anthony Rinaldi

Martin Luther King, Jr. said “Life’s most persistent and urgent question is: What are you doing for others?”

You can’t ask that question of Connecticut’s Anthony Rinaldi. If you asked him anything like it, it would be “what are you not doing of others?”

Anthony barbecues for friends at work around the summer holidays. He fixes his neighbors’ computers and stands ready to help with any computer issue that may arise. He leads the baking efforts at a Greek church, dedicating two days to mix dough and bake 6,000 cookies for an annual fair. He feels like cooking and he invites his family’s neighbors and friends over to eat, hang out or watch a movie. He replaces his in-laws’ kitchen while they are away for the winter in Florida. He loves his wife and is always there for his step-daughter.

He’s always personable and always willing to stop and chat for a minute.

My family and I blessed to know Anthony, and we bet many other people feel the same way. If you know him, it’s impossible to feel any other way.
