SARATOGA SPRINGS — Lifelong Saratogian, and longtime city official and musical entertainer Anthony “Skip” Scirocco died on April 6, following a brief battle with cancer.
Scirocco was born Feb. 29. 1948, earning the nickname “Skip” as a child in a warm reminder that the Leap Year date of his birth signaled he would celebrate a birthday once every four years and “skip” the years in between.
He served the city he loved, first as the animal control officer, then as an elected Saratoga County Supervisor (1998-2005), and the Commissioner of Public Works (2008-2022).
Another of his passions was music and was known as “Skippy” of the local band Skippy and the Pistons.
He is survived by his wife Corinne; their two sons Anthony (Heather) and Mark (Amber) Scirocco; grandchildren Schuyler, Madison, Vince, and Ethan Scirocco; and his brother Frank (Kim) Scirocco.
