Anthony, a gentle and kind soul, has passed away in his 91st year on Wednesday, May 25, 2022 at St. Joseph’s Hospital, Hamilton. He left a warm and comforting lasting impression on those whose lives he touched. Survived by his loving wife Marlene (nee Dietrich). Beloved father of Marian, Nancy and Ted, David and Terri, Greg and Heather, Michele and Paul, and Darryl. Cherished grandfather of eleven grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
