Tony's Story
The Life and Legacy of Anthony Di Norcia Jr.
Anthony Di Norcia Jr. was an incredible father, husband, businessman and community leader. His legacy lives on through a foundation dedicated to providing resources and education on Neuroendocrine Prostate Cancer.
About Tony: Tony was born in Queens, New York, and grew up in Smithtown on Long Island. He moved to Florida in the early 80's - starting on the East Coast and then to Naples. He started several local businesses and was well respected as a Contractor in Naples.
Tony married his wife Brenda in 2003 and they started a beautiful family - Isabella was born in 2005 and Anthony John (AJ) in 2007. On July 31, 2018, at the age of 54, Tony was diagnosed with Stage 4 Neuroendocrine Prostate Cancer with Small Cell features.
Neuroendocrine Prostate Cancer is an extremely rare and aggressive form of Prostate Cancer. Only 5% of men are diagnosed with this rare form of Prostate Cancer each year, and treatment is limited. There is still much unknown and funding and research is required to make further advancements for those diagnosed.
Our hope is to help and provide men and their families with information and provide funding and resources as much as we can.
