After retiring in 1985, he continued his career in education teaching at Alabama Christian Academy in January 1986. He later became counselor and principal before retiring again in 2002.
As he was working in the field of education, he also began serving as a part time minister with the Titus Church of Christ and later began preaching at Lightwood Church of Christ. He then took a part time preaching job at Mt. Hebron church of Christ near Eclectic, AL that lasted 38 years. While at Mt Hebron he also served as elder. Mr. Anthony had a passion for animals and especially his boxer Baby Doll. Both enjoyed eating ice cream on hot summer days. He cared for all the cats in the neighborhood.
