Anthony Leroux is an Air Force veteran who just recently retired from the United States Postal Service.  Anthony has served on the American Postal Workers Union Board of Trustees,

the Board of Directors for the Agawam Lions Club and the Board of Directors for the Friends of Norcross (a historic home in East Longmeadow MA).

 

A 29-year Mason, Anthony served as Master of his lodge, District Deputy Grand Marshall and District Deputy Grandmaster, receiving the Joseph Warren medal for outstanding service within Masonry. Anthony is a past president of the Springfield Masonic Temple Inc. receiving emeritus status and is a past vice president and past treasurer of the same.

 

As a member of the Melha Shriners, he has served as president of many units within and served as chairman of the board of trustees. Anthony is a member of the Melha Legion of Honor and a lifelong member of the Shriners million-dollar club.

 

Anthony is a past monarch of Bela Grotto and is currently the District Deputy Supreme Council and vice president of the New England Grotto Association. Grottos are part of the humanitarian foundation and raise funds for free dental care for special needs children. Anthony has just recently received a lifetime award for his dedication to Grotto.

 

As much as he has accomplished, Anthony feels his greatest accomplishment is bringing awareness to Wreaths Across America, having served as chairman in his district for many years and raising over $30,000.00 for that organization. In 2021 and 2022 he was successful in bringing the Wreaths Across America mobile exhibit to the town of Agawam. In 2023 Anthony was able to fulfill one of his greatest desires in laying wreaths for Wreaths Across America at Arlington National Cemetery.

 

Anthony has served one year as a director for The Friends of the Agawam Veterans Cemetery and hopes to continue in that capacity. Anthony is a staunch supporter of veterans and their rights as he honors those who gave us the freedom we enjoy today.
