Occupation: After his father died, Tony took over L. J. Scarpace Co., a trucking company, learning the ropes by fire, as it were. Eventually he opened Laser Perfect, a company which remanufactures laser printer cartridges. As if that wasn't enough, he and Judy bought two franchised Quizno's Classic Sub Sandwich restaurants in October, 1995 in Farmington Hills, MI and East Lansing, MI. At the family Thanksgiving Dinner, 1995, he announced that he and his wife of 25 years had just rented their first apartment (in E. Lansing due to the schedule that would have Judy commuting daily 180 miles or living out of a suitcase at local hotels). Unfortunately both restaurants were closed by September 1998 due to losing money. No profits, and high overhead is not good business practice!
