In cherished remembrance of our dear friend - "The" Instigator:

Steven E. Bartoli

March 1, 1961 - August 03, 2011
Steven E. Bartoli, 50, of Brookfield, husband of Phyllis (Bucci) Bartoli died Wednesday, August 3rd at Danbury Hospital. Steven was born March 1, 1961 in Bronx, NY.  He was the loving son of Anna (Ambrosi) Bartoli of Danbury and the late Bruno Bartoli.
He owned and operated Alpine Cutlery Sales and Service alongside his partners, John Ambrosi and Rudy Babuini, in Brookfield for the past 26 years. He was an avid NY Yankee and Dallas Cowboy fan. He loved music, played the guitar and sang in the band, the Instigators.
Steven was known for making everyone feel like they were unique and special. His magnetic personality could light up a room and he always had a smile, a story or a joke to share. He will be sadly missed by all.
Along with his wife of 26 years, Phyllis, and mother, Anna, Steven is survived by his two cherished daughters, Bianca and Claudia Bartoli of Brookfield; one brother, Robert Bartoli and his wife, Geri, of Long Island, NY.

With hearts and minds fiercely entwined in a reverence of the classic songs of Rock n' Roll's history and revolution, the well-seasoned musicians of The Instigators take those anthems in their own driving direction. Not content with rehashing a note for note copy of the originals, these guys rock to their own heartbeat and in the process carry everyone along with each rebellious beat of their voodoo vibe. "Your limbs will twitch, your feet will tap, your fingers thrumb, the dancin' cool you will become!!"
