A devoted husband, father, and grandfather, Anthony emigrated from Europe to the United States with Eileen in 1964. Anthony dedicated his professional life of over 40 years to a career as a Machine Tool Engineer. As a youth, he found joy in riding horses, and eventually motorbikes. Anthony would later develop a true lifelong passion for motor racing, specifically Formula One, to which he was an avid fan and viewer. Anthony had even participated at a driving school held at the Watkins Glen race course. Among his other interests were traveling, carpentry, and a strong love for animals. Anthony is survived by his dog, Patrick, whom he had loved and adored for the past 11 years.
Anthony was a well respected man throughout his community, and was deeply loved by family and friends alike. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the Alzheimer’s Association on Anthony’s behalf.

To Anthony’s loved ones…
May the love of family and friends bring you comfort through this most difficult times.
Dear Debbie, Dave, Nathan and Families, sending sincere condolences and hugs from afar.
I was so saddened to read that you’ve lost your beloved husband, and father and grandfather. May the grief that you’re feeling now be replaced with good memories and loving times that you all had together.
We’re saddened deeply. We will miss his warm friendliness, wit and gentlemanly way. Tony was part of what made the MG Car Club as good as it is. We often followed him on driving tours. There will be a bit of a hole in the club without him! We’ll remember him fondly.
