Anthony was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather. His love of music started early and he served his country as a drummer in the military. He continued to play professionally after the service. His love of woodworking led him into carpentry until retiring from the Carpenters Union. He loved to make people smile and will be remembered as a loving and genuine soul.
He was predeceased by his wife, Elizabeth, in 2014. Surviving are his devoted children, Mark (Jane), Tony (Sarah), and Jill Pallotto (Dan), and four beloved grandchildren, Anthony, Nicholas, Kayla, and Sean.
