Anthony is a 2020 graduate of Guilford High School and was the Senior Captain of the 2019-2020 Guilford High School Wrestling Team. Prior to taking some time off to visit Europe and travel the US He had worked as a Plumbing Apprentice for Ferguson Mechanical Company for 2 years.

Anthony had absolutely incredible love for life itself and was rarely found sitting still. He truly needed to make the best of everyday. He had a deep love of the outdoors as an avid fisherman since he could walk. Whether it was hiking miles in Pulaski NY on the Salmon River in search of King Salmon, spending another summer night with friends at the Guilford Docks, drilling one more icy hole on the Guilford Lakes or simply walking the Hammonasset for some nice brown trout. Anthony was never passing up the opportunity to drop a line. On days when he couldn’t satisfy his itch for adventure outdoors, he was in the kitchen enjoying his second passion which was cooking for friends and family. No dish to crazy no spice to exotic Anthony loved them all and loved putting together a good dish for all to enjoy. If he wasn’t fishing or cooking, he could be found living his absolute best life beside his brother, family and friends enjoying endless adolescent shenanigans, concerts, Sushi Palace, late night guitar secessions and diner at Carl’s. Anthony’s light will forever shine and he will forever be remembered as wonderful brother, tremendous friend, and the most outstanding son a mother and father could ask for.
