Anthony lived a rich, full, family-centered life in West Haven. His first job was as a pin boy at the duckpin bowling alley. Anthony played horseshoes and bocci at the local field, and his passions included the beach, baseball, music, and food. He rooted for the Red Sox and the Giants, and his taste in music ran from opera to Creedence Clearwater Revival (CCR). Anthony loved watching old westerns and game shows on television. Although he was often quiet, Anthony was an attentive listener.

Anthony was adored by everyone he met because of his gentle disposition and humble nature. His greatest joy was giving to others, and Anthony was the rare, genuinely open-hearted person who always left you smiling after sharing even a short time together.

The story of Black History Month begins in Chicago during the summer of 1915. An alumnus of the University of Chicago with many friends in the city, Carter G. Woodson traveled from Washington, D.C. to participate in a national celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of emancipation sponsored by the state of Illinois. Thousands of African Americans travelled from across the country to see exhibits highlighting the progress their people had made since the destruction of slavery. Awarded a doctorate in Harvard three years earlier, Woodson joined the other exhibitors with a black history display. Despite being held at the Coliseum, the site of the 1912 Republican convention, an overflow crowd of six to twelve thousand waited outside for their turn to view the exhibits. Inspired by the three-week celebration, Woodson decided to form an organization to promote the scientific study of black life and history before leaving town. On September 9th, Woodson met at the Wabash YMCA with A. L. Jackson and three others and formed the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History (ASNLH).

The Seeing Eye was incorporated in Nashville, Tennessee, on January 29, 1929.
A month later, The Seeing Eye graduated its first two students: Dr. Raymond Harris with his Seeing Eye dog, Tartar, and Dr. Howard Buchanan with his Seeing Eye dog, Gala. The instructors were Jack Humphrey, Adelaide Clifford, and Willi Ebeling.

In 1931, the organization relocated to Whippany, New Jersey, because the climate in the northeast was more suitable for training dogs.
