Upon his father’s retirement, Anthony expanded the company to include interior and creative interaction with decorators throughout the state. Later in his career, Anthony joined the Hospital of Saint Raphael in Engineering Management and was loved, admired and respected by his colleagues. He was affable and always shared his smile with co-workers, patients, and visitors alike. His responsibilities were many and he enjoyed the challenges.

He gladly accepted as he missed his colleagues and his workplace. His interests included golf, fishing, singing, playing string instruments and creating art through his drawings and paintings.
