Anthony lived a life of faith in Jesus Christ and service to others. As a paratrooper in WWII, he was wounded three times and earned a bronze star and three purple hearts. Anthony was a long time member and chief of the Valhalla Volunteer Fire Dept. He could fix anything and would stop whatever he was doing at any time to help someone in need. He was a wonderful husband, father, grandfather and friend. Anthony was greatly loved and will be greatly missed. We look forward to a grand reunion with him in heaven.
