Anthony was an avid volunteer and generously gave of his time to the Alzheimer’s Association of NY, the Good Shepherd Catholic Church sports program and his Arlington Condo Board over a span of 60 years. Anthony loved to give back to his church community and had been actively involved in church activities through the years. He was very proud of his Italian heritage and was an active member of the Son’s of Italy. He was a lifelong sports fan, one who never truly got over his beloved Brooklyn Dodgers leaving New York. Later in life he supported his grandchildren’s sporting endeavors as loyally as he once followed the Dodgers. He enjoyed sharing his love of his Italian culture with his friends and family and could often be found in the kitchen preparing a pasta dinner for them.
