Afterward, he served in the US Navy from 1943-1947 and then worked for Eastman Kodak for 38 years. He always attended the Brill Submarine reunions.



Tony loved going on cruises, playing golf, and was a Baltimore Orioles fan as well as head of the Management Club at Eastman Kodak. Some of his favorite television shows included Seinfield, Bill O'Reilly, and the news.



Family and friends would best describe Tony as someone who was outgoing, funny, friendly, well-respected, and resilient. He will be greatly missed.

"Dear Tony, When you came into our lives twnety years ago, you filled a void and became the grandfather we always missed. You had an amazing sense of humor and an ability to make everyone laugh with your quick wit. You had the sweetest smile that I will miss so much. Whenever we saw each other you gave me a wonderful tight hug and some kind of compliment that gave me an instant self-esteem boost. Even though I was not your grandchild by blood, I never felt that. All I felt was your support, kindness, and love. You embraced our family with open arms. I feel so incredibly blessed to have had you for so long. I know that although I miss you beyond words, you are always with us and I take comfort in the fact that you are watching over all of us and walking among the angels. I will miss you always and forever..."
