Anthony had several hobbies, music being one of his greatest passions. He sang and played several instruments in a Gospel/Western band, The Christianairs, in service to the Lord for more than 30 years. As a youngster he also played the trumpet with a band that performed at the iconic Elitch Gardens, where he often went dancing with his sister too. As an avid fisherman he loved tying his own flies. He was very particular about the color and the way they were tied. Fishing was a family and friends adventure. It was at, Beaver Lake, where Anthony and friends coined the phrase and yelled "raw meat!" to notify one another a fish had been caught. Once he retired he also developed an ambivalent relationship with golf. His unwavering faith in God began as a young man when he was an altar boy. However it wasn't until he was thirty that he accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. Anthony served Him faithfully till the day the Lord met him in the air. Anthony's: friendship, words of wisdom, and his love will be missed by all.
