Anthony J. "Tony" Mrugala passed away peacefully on November 23, 2025 at The Aberjona Rehabilitation and Nursing Facility in Winchester, Massachusetts.

He was born on March 15, 1934, the son of Antoni and Frances (Sagan) Mrugala. Tony grew up in North Cambridge and throughout his life was very proud of his Polish ancestry. He was predeceased by siblings Jeannette, Ted, Peter, Edward, and Frannie and is survived by 2 nephews, Ted and Rich Mrugala, Rich's wife, Doris, a niece, Chris Harmon, and several great nephews, and nieces.

After earning his Master's Degree from Boston College, Tony was a guidance counselor for many years before retiring from the Waltham School system.

Like a Renaissance man, Tony pursued a number of passions. The arts--listening to classical music, playing the piano, and creating lovely calligraphy---brought him great joy. He traveled extensively, was an avid skier, and became a ski instructor at Mount Sunapee. Horses were a central part of Tony's life. Locals in the Concord-Lincoln area frequently saw him with his horse and carriage carrying people to special events such as wedding receptions in grand style. His was also a familiar face at the local hardware store where he worked part time for a number of years following his retirement.

Services for Tony will be private.

The family requests no flowers, but if desired, a donation may be made to a favorite charity.

Arrangements are entrusted to Dee Funeral Home & Cremation Service of Concord.
