Anthony loved his family, a great old movie, The Yankees, Frank Sinatra, and a delicious pasta dish. He taught all of his children and grandchildren to read, swim, drive a car, and that with enough perseverance anything can be fixed. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him for his wit, intelligence, and humor.
