Anthony loved to deer and duck hunt. He was always up for a good fishing trip with family and friends.  Every year, he and his family would spend Labor Day weekend on the "Little Red" trout fishing, nothing was more relaxing to him.  Anthony and his family owned and operated a peach orchard, that started out as a part time job..but, later realized it was more than that! He enjoyed spending time with his family and friends.  He loved his grandchildren, Liam and Lillian, and was looking forward to taking them on a fishing trip to help them enjoy the great outdoors.
