After Tony’s retirement from Central Maine Power Company, he was employed as a crossing guard at the Henley School in South Portland. When health problems forced him to give up that job, he spent his time at home, taking long walks, playing cribbage and pinochle, and entertaining friends. He enjoyed sitting in the sun doing his word games as he kept watch on the neighborhood of Preble Street and Fort Road.
