After graduating from Classical High School in Providence, Tony received his Bachelor's degree from Springfield College in Springfield, MA in 1968, then taught grammar school in New Haven, CT.

Later he obtained his Captain's license and taught sailing in Galveston Bay, TX, and the Gulf of Mexico.

Tony loved to entertain and cook, and even made the "Best" meatloaf; just ask the grandkids! He was considered a friend and leader by many. Tony was never afraid to try new things, with gusto!
