He enjoyed his time with everyone he ever worked.

Anthony was a devoted husband of 33 years, outstanding Father of 6 and beloved grandfather of 5. Everyone in Tarpon Springs knew him as “Pops”. If you knew Tony, he was quite a conversationalist. He could keep talking for hours about anything and everything. He enjoyed Fancy Dressing and Fine Dining. When he stepped out, he was clean as a whistle.
