As an Assistant Chief Operating Officer he was placed in many areas throughout the MTA and was stationed at Ground Zero for several months following the 9/11 attack. After retirement in 2006, he enjoyed traveling with his wife, spending time with his children, grandchildren and the rest of his family. He is survived by his wife of 47 years Angel as well as his three children and four grandchildren, Erica (Chad, Anthony and Mariella Mills), Daniella (Nathaniel, Michaela and Mariah Kane) and Anthony John Crisci III (Suneye Koohsari), his two younger siblings and nieces Janet (Attilio and Jeanne Santonocito) and John (Michelle, Taylor & Grace Crisci).
