Anthony was raised on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. He served in the military in the United States Air Force and also worked in construction for many years.

" Tony " as he was known was a family man and a good provider. He was a proud Puerto Rican. He spoke of his heritage often. He always spoke his mind whether you liked it or not. Although, he was known to be an aggressive person, he was loved & was a sweetheart to those he loved. He loved to spend time with his wife Tara & her family. He lived his life to the fullest & loved drinking his beer. You almost never saw him without a beer in his hand. He will be missed by many. As his wife, I will make sure he is never forgotten. Anthony will always remain in my heart & I will always love you.

He leaves to mourn: his wife of 20 years Tara Alejandrino, his daughter Krystyne N. Crossland, son Kevin, his brother Porfirio Rodriguez, his sister Yvonne Rivera, aunts Carmen Flores and Laverne Bailey, sister-in-laws Josette Jones and Diane Howard, nieces Janiece Jones, Janelle Jones, Jayla Chatham, nephews Justice Jones, Jayson Chatham and Mark Jackson and a host of many more nephews, nieces, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.
