Anthony "Algiers" Leggiero

April 5, 2020

Anthony "ALGIERS" Leggiero Anthony L. Leggiero, a lifelong resident of Dobbs Ferry, passed away peacefully on April 5, 2020. Known to most of the Northern Hemisphere as "Algiers". Anthony was born on September 8, 1938 to the late Anthony and Elvira {Pomponio} Leggiero. After graduating from Dobbs Ferry schools, Anthony enlisted into U.S. Army serving from 1957-1959. Soon after he enjoyed a 34 year career as a letter carrier for the US Postal Service in Dobbs Ferry. Most of his career was spent delivering mail to his "Beacon Hill" "family". Anthony was a "give first", "quick witted", caring person whose hobbies included watching Jeopardy, old movie classics, card playing, lottery tickets and most of all, mastering the daily New York Times crossword puzzle. Whether you knew him as Anthony, Tony, Algiers, Junnie or Uncle Tony, you could not be in his presence without him getting a laugh out of you. Anthony is survived by his brother Angelo Leggiero, and his sister, Gloria Conn, both of Dobbs Ferry. Beloved Uncle Tony to nephews and niece Mark {Noreen} Leggiero, Keri {Angelo} DiLascio, Dean Leggiero and their children. Also survived by Ex-Wife Pat Clancy and daughter Laura. "Algiers" apartment seemed to be the epicenter of the Earth where a "million" friends came by, especially Brian Coffey and Scotty Shevlin. Anthony was predeceased by beloved family members Clarence "Cabby" Eriksen and Sister-in-law Patricia Leggiero. We wish to send a special thank you to the Glen Island Nursing & Rehab in New Rochelle for loving care given to our brother and uncle. A Memorial service and celebration of Anthony's life will announced at a later date.
