Anthony L. Sadler, Jr., 64, of Westport, passed away on Wednesday, September 9, 2026 at Charlton Memorial Hospital. He was the husband of Lynda L. (Dube) Sadler, they shared 36 years of marriage.
Tony was born in Silver Spring, MD, son of the late Darleen A. (Swipp) Sadler and the late Anthony L. Sadler, Sr. and his wife Nancy Sadler of Fort Myers, FL and had resided in Westport, MA for the last 2 years.
A graduate of UConn University, Tony was the Vice President for Rite Aid Pharmacy for over 30 years. A devoted husband, loving father, and proud “Papa,” Tony lived a life centered on faith, family, and quiet generosity.
Tony was especially proud of his two sons and cherished every opportunity to be part of their lives. He took particular joy in coaching, cheering, and simply being present for his son’s and grandsons’ baseball teams—moments that became some of his happiest. He embraced the role of Papa with his four grandchildren with wholehearted affection, creating memories that will last a lifetime.
A man of deep faith, Tony lived his beliefs quietly but consistently. He gave generously to many charities and gave his time as a volunteer at the Westport Food Pantry. He was a lifelong fan of Boston sports and the UConn Huskies.

Tony will be remembered for his steady presence, compassion and the deep love he gave his family and others.
