I have been blessed by having such an amazing father-in-law. From the first day I met him he treated me like I was part of his family. I have so many beautiful memories of him. Tonight was one of the many memorable times we shared together. He would take us to Atlantic City by helicopter followed by a great New Year's Eve party. Anthony would spend the night dancing with his beautiful wife, my best friend Joanie. I loved to see the smile on his face as he watched us having the time of our lives. After the party we would watch him either having a great time or miserable time gambling the night away. As the years went on and his two grandchildren Anthony and James came into his life New Year's Eve became a time spent with his loving grandchildren.I could go on and on about his loving devotion to his family but it would never end. Christmas day was my final memory of him. It was a happy and sad day. He spent a great day with us telling his stories as usual and winning his final bet on the basketball game. The day ended with his passing, but the memory of that day spent with us will forever live on in my heart. He is now in heaven along with his loving wife and my parents starting a new life in heaven. Thanks for the memories "Big Anthony".
