Following graduation, Tony served in the Army Reserve. As an electrical engineer he worked for the defense industry, retiring in 1994. Tony lived life to the fullest with the woman of his dreams, Lucille. Married for 61 years and blessed with 3 children, Anthony (Janice), Jennifer, and Christopher (Susan).

In addition, special grandchildren by marriage Jillian (Richie) Buturla, Keith (Hillary) Torreso and their children Sophia, Richie, Jack, Hunter, Carson and Holland.
