Tony joined the Navy at 17 years old where he had the great opportunity to circle the earth twice as a naval mechanic on the SS Brooklyn during WW II. In his later years he would reminisce about the places he had been, and the stories of a young man from Nebraska as he traveled to various points around the world. After his service to his country Tony worked briefly for Ford Motor Company in California before moving to Chicago where he met his wife Loretta and eventually marrying. Tony began working for International Harvester in Melrose Park, IL as a guard. He had the opportunity to work his way up over the next 30 years to become a regional sales manager for IH. Again, his careers gave him the opportunity to travel the US for most of his 30 years with IH. Most notable was his 6 months he spent in Iran and Russia respectfully, where he represented IH as their sales and support team. In retirement Tony spent many hours in his garage building cars and boats which was his passion.
