They moved to Eastchester to raise their family in 1967 and settled on Marbledale Road. Anthony served as a volunteer Officer with the Tuckahoe Auxiliary Police during the mid 70’s earning the rank of Lieutenant. Anthony began his long career in construction and was a proud 50 year member of the Union of Operating Engineers.

To those who knew our dad, knew a man who was the epitome of class. Had a smile that could light up the sky. Tough as nails when he needed to be but was sweeter than sweet when around his grandchildren. Acclaimed Golden Gloves boxer, and served his country proudly. We will forever see him in his grandchildren and we can only hope to instill the values in our kids that he instilled in us...work harder than everyone and do it with a smile, respect everyone and most of all, respect yourself. We love you Dad and you will forever live in our hearts.
