Frank A. Magnoli, Jr.

Frank Anthony Magnoli Jr., a lifelong resident of Stamford, CT, passed away peacefully on January 28, 2025. Born in Stamford on October 2, 1956, he was the beloved son of the late Filomena (Sorbo) and Frank Magnoli Sr. Frank was a proud graduate of St. Basil’s Preparatory School, Class of 1974. He went on to study pre-law and holds a B.A. from American University, where he was a dedicated member of the Phi Sigma Kappa fraternity. His passion for justice and the law led him to earn his J.D. from Potomac School of Law, then on to the Vermont Law & Graduate School earning a Master of Environmental Law (M.A,). He later applied his legal expertise in service to the State of Connecticut, Commission of Human Rights and Opportunities as a mediator, helping to resolve disputes with fairness and integrity. A man of intellect and curiosity, Frank was an avid reader who could often be found immersed in books or diligently working through the daily New York Times crossword puzzle. He had a deep appreciation for nature and frequently retreated to the Green Mountain forests of Vermont, where he cherished spending weekends at the Magnoli family cabin. He was a devoted New York Yankees fan and shared this passion with his daughter, Josefina. He also loved tending to his garden and found great joy in nurturing plants and watching them thrive. Frank was preceded in death by his loving parents, Filomena and Frank A. Magnoli Sr. He is survived by his devoted daughter, Josefina Daniello of Bluffton, South Carolina; his brother, Michael, and his wife Jennifer (Sileo) of Norwalk, CT; his nephew, Joseph Magnoli of Norwalk, CT; his niece, Jessica Magnoli of West Hartford, CT. He also leaves behind cherished aunts, uncles, cousins, and loyal friends who will forever hold him in their hearts. Frank’s memory will live on through the love of his family, the kindness he showed to others, and the lasting impact of his work. We invite friends and family to honor his life, Thursday, February 6th, from 5PM - 8 PM at the Bosak Funeral Home in Stamford, CT. Interment will be private.
