Anthony Salvatore Farinacci, 88, died at home surrounded by his loving family on May 12, 2021 from pulmonary fibrosis. He was born on January 22, 1933 in Brooklyn, NY, the only child of Ferdinando and Rosaria Farinacci. Anthony graduated from the NY School of Printing. After High School, he served in the US Navy as a Naval Photographer during the Korean War from 1952-1953. Following the war, he enrolled in New York University and earned both Bachelors and Juris Doctorate Degrees. He met the love of his life, Theresa D’Amico and they married and settled in Brooklyn, NY. They celebrated 56 years of marriage together in November. Anthony had a prominent career in the entertainment industry and worked as a lawyer for ABC entertainment and the Walt Disney Company for over 35 years.
