He applied no less than six times before finally being accepted to the University of Colorado Medical School and earning his MD in 1985. Anthony courageously fought colo-rectal cancer for nearly a decade, along with many other health issues that manifested due to it.

Regardless of the trials and tribulations with his health he forever persevered. His spirit lives on through his only daughter Jessica Piccone-Robie and his grandson Orrin Anthony. He also lives on through his mother Catherine Abegg Hall and siblings Michael, Marsha, Frank, Stephanie, Jim, John Pasquale, Mariono, Ronda, Sandy and Mary Ann.
