Anthony quietly left his loving family and friends on Tuesday, March 12, 2019. He was preceded in death by his parents, an older sister, Rose M. Barnes (G.W.) and older brother Frank J. DeConcilis (Emily). Survivors are daughter Theresa M. Chandler (William), Martin A. DeConcilis (Kathleen) and two granddaughters Jessica Chandler and Alexis DeConcilis, whom he adored.

He was a member of Kenwood Golf and Country Club in Bethesda, MD in the 1950s and then a founding member at Westwood Golf and Country Club in Vienna, VA from 1962 until his death.
