Anthony spent his career at Wilmington Finishing retiring after many years as supervisor. He was a devout catholic and lifelong member of Corpus Christi Parish. Anthony was a member of the Knight of Columbus and volunteered in many capacities in the church including the carnival, marriage encounter, and post cana.

In his free time Anthony loved to paint and was a talented artist. He was a skilled photographer and shot many weddings of friends and family. He had a knack for building model ships and created them out of only the draft plans crafting each piece by hand. Anthony loved to fish and found peace in spending time on the water. But more than anything Anthony loved his family. He will be dearly missed.
