Leonard Michael Giglio, 81, of Bolton and loving husband of Lorraine (Wilson) Giglio passed away peacefully at home on Friday, July 7, 2017.

Leonard was born on March 25, 1936, oldest son of the late Leonard L. and Alice (DePietro) Giglio. He was a lifelong resident of Bolton and spent most of his life working hard on his family dairy farm, Rockland Farms. Leonard was an animal lover and enjoyed sharing his love of farming with students from the Rockville High School Vo-Ag program. Leonard was a volunteer with the Bolton Volunteer Fire Department and on the Bolton Board of Fire Commissioners. He was an avid Yankees fan, enjoyed country music and square dancing, and bowling in his earlier years. Throughout the years, Leonard developed friendships with people of many walks of life. His quick-wit and jokester ways always kept his friends and family on their toes.
