I would like to share that I am so lucky to have been married to a wonderful man, who had a great sense of humor and loved singing his Rock and Roll (although he really couldn’t sing) and dancing the night away! He also did many years of volunteering which always made him feel so happy. So I want to thank the Lord for allowing me to share my life with him. One more, he was the best dad and grandpa♥️
My dad was the most incredible father a girl could ask for and touched everyone’s life he came in contact with. The life lessons I have learned is invaluable with the constant lessons of giving back to others and pour love into this world. He left the world a better place and I hit lotto with him as my dad. You’re the best and then there is all the rest.
Through working with his wife children and grandchildren I got to know Anthony as the patriarch of a great group of people.
I knew Anthony through Flo and his children and grandchildren. Meeting him at the occasional concert he always had something interesting to talk about and of course his love of music. My thoughts and prayers are with Flo and the rest of his family at this time but I’m so glad I got to know Anthony through the stories Flo and the kids would tell.

I meet Tony and Florence when I first moved to the village at the pool. You just knew immediately when talking to them how great they both were, especially Tony. He was a gentleman, funny, kind, caring and loving husband., and friendly to all he met! It was a privilege to have known him, and I know he will be missed by many! May you rest in peace now Tony, love Rosemarie Moschinger
My sincere condolences for the loss of your Dad to your family. I had the pleasure of working with him at BAC for many years. Tony will always be remembered as such a nice, kind and gentle man.
May his soul rest in eternal peace. 🙏🏻✝️
It was a few months after my brother Bob began dating Dawn that I met Tony for the first time. I recall it was a Saturday morning in Rocky point on my brother’s front yard. Tony stopped by to introduce himself. I instantly liked him, a great smile, big personality, and I felt like I knew him. Skip forward to Monday morning. I live in Mineola and I walk Mineola Boulevard about a half a mile to the Long Island railroad station for my commute into New York City. Each morning is the same as all morning past. I walk along the way sipping my cup of coffee. I see the shop owners, fellow commuters and the same stranger walking towards me to their place of work. But today it’s no stranger, the person who shared a smile and good morning for years was my new friend! We both raised our arms while laughing and embraced saying “I knew I knew you.”
Thinking back on those days going into the office having a stranger say good morning to you and smile set the mood for the day. I didn’t appreciate it at the time but when I think back, I realize Tony went out of his way to make people’s days a little bit better.
Tony celebrated every day and he included everyone in that celebration. Tony will be missed.
Here’s how I like to remember Tony.
