Sharing sad news of passing of Ansonia bake shop owner

Roy Tidmarsh photographed in February 2015 at 'In Love and Chocolate' fund-raising event in Shelton.

ANSONIA - I was saddened this afternoon to read the news of the passing of resident Roy W. Tidmarsh.

I met him in his bake shop at 66 Westfield Ave. a few days before Valentine's day in 2012, and thoroughly enjoyed our chat about baking, candy-making, and Valley traditions that go back decades. 

The last time I spoke with him was in February at 'In Love and Chocolate,' a fund-raising event in Shelton.

I extend my condolences to his family and friends at this sad time.
