He attended and graduated from local schools before pursuing a degree in Engineering from Middlebury College where he was a proud member of his fraternity Delta Kappa Epsilon. Anthony enlisted in the U.S. Army in February of 1943 and was an Army Staff Sergeant, serving in the Pacific during WWII where he received the Purple Heart Medal. After his service Anthony worked for a number of years for General Electric in Schenectady, NY, retiring as a Foreman. He was a parishioner of St. Michael the Archangel Roman Catholic Church.

He enjoyed visiting his family in Ballston Spa, making wine with his brothers, spending time with his kids and grandkids, attending family dinners, summer barbecues, annual apple picking, baking bread, watching football games and he loved dancing to big band music. He was also an avid golfer and bowler in his early pre-retirement and early retirement years. In addition to his parents and wife, Anthony was predeceased by his brothers Albert, Louis, Bernard, Donald and Harry Monaco, and his sisters Josephine Dufort, Kathryn D'Ambro, Theresa Monaco, Jenny Odorizzi and Sophie Wolfersheim.
