I just found his family on the 1940 census in Nutley, Essex Co., New Jersey. (Thank you, FamilySearch!)

There were 5 in the family. The "Head" was Sisto, age 39, born in Italy, with his wife Filomena, age 42, also born in Italy. The three children were Anthony, son, Christine, daughter, and Peter, son.

There is none of the usual information about Anthony as to age, race, marital status or place of birth. Instead there is a note from the census taker on that line:

"I had to return for enumeration when I returned I was told this son is in the U.S. Navy"

According to the Social Security Death Index, his father Sisto Dipetta died December 1967 in Nutley, NJ (born 28 July 1900), and his mother Filomena Dipetta died March 1983 in Nutley, NJ (born 29 Oct. 1896). Peter Dipetta, presumably the same person as his brother, died 17 Jan. 2010, Falmouth, Barnstable Co., Massachusetts (born 15 Nov. 1936). Possibly the sister is still alive, but if not either is listed under her married name or died after 2014 (the online index goes only to 2014). In any case Anthony may have living nephews or nieces.
