His love and dedication to his family never wavered.

Special thanks to Anthony's dedicated team of caregivers, Deb, Suzette, Cassie, Diane, Jennifer, Peg, and Tom, who allowed him to enjoy his twilight years in his home.

Tony, Debbie & family, so sorry to hear about your Dad's passing. Your father was a hands-on guy from a generation of the same, which I always admired. God Bless

To Tony´s family. I am so sorry for the loss of Tony. I worked with Tony from 1956 until the day he retired and I still consulted with him after he retired. There is no one in the canal system that I had more respect for, than Tony. And I ended up working in Albany. Tony was a good man and my friend.
You are all in my prayers.
