I met Anthony when he was an up and coming labor leader and I was starting my accounting career. Both Anthony and Marion helped me grow my business and I am forever grateful. In life, there are people, when they walk into a room, there is electricity. Anthony was one of those people. He will be missed by all that knew him

Anthony was my 1st cousin but i never had opportunity to meet him. My father known as Slim ( his Uncle) affectionately spoke of him and was very proud of him . He would show him my nursing school picture when he ran into him at Momouth Park. My dad was a jockey agent. So sorry I never got to know your family since my grandma Julia died when I was very young . God Bless him and my prayers are with you.

I met Mr Scotto later in his life and personified what a gentleman and family patriarch should be.
Loved by his family and especially his grandchildren, he will be missed but remembered lovingly.
