accomplishment he was most proud of
was his family life, and he cherished

of Buffalo, especially those whom he
met early on through the Catholic faith
community, and his beloved tennis
friends who played together well into
their 80’s. Dr. Anllo was known professionally
and personally for his integrity,

his intelligence, his generosity and
kindness, and gentlemanly charm. He

and his wife enjoyed the lively musical
accompaniment to Sunday Mass.
