He started out making salads and learned culinary skills on the job from then chef Richard Gac. He was a fast study and as with most things he did in life, he was very quickly a success. He had an undergraduate and a master's degree from Millersville University where he also helped start the ice hockey program. At Chichester High School, he made All-Delaware County as a center on the football team coached by his father, Anthony, Sr., who died in 1977 of a heart attack.</span>
-Apichella also was an accomplished pianist, he could sing, and seemed, according to Kirk Zimmerman, a friend, "to know something about everything. He was a great teacher. He taught me about the opera."
+He taught public school for a few years in Ridley Park and parochial schools in Philadelphia. But getting laid off a couple of times made him decide to try another field. Eileen Plato, owner of Judy's Cafe, said Apichella had a natural love of food and had the keenest taste buds of any chef she ever saw. "As chefs go," she said, "he was even-tempered, he could handle stress."
-He also passed on his skills in the kitchen to those who wanted to learn, such as Jennifer Borzelleca, who worked with him.
+She also held him in high regard as a person. "He was able to connect," she said. "He had particular ways with such a variety of people. He was one of those guys who kept up contacts with old friends and he had lots of new friends . . . He wasn't just a cook; he was a renaissance man with interests beyond the arcane. "He loved science fiction, he loved opera. He was passionate about things." He loved animals and owned four cats.
-She said he taught her how to make special mashed potatoes which are now among Judy's most popular side dishes.
