Dear Pat, Jeff, and Matt,
It was with incredible sadness that I heard news of Tony's passing.
My fondness for him, and recalling our special years together as the boys were growing up, will remain with me permanently.
I was planning to be with you today, but my car which is in the body shop, and which was promised back this morning failed to materialize, and Gary who I would have caught a ride with, was already at the service.
I pray regularly in a different denomination, but to the same God, and this week , my focus was with him, and that his soul should travel safely to Heaven.
I hope the family find peace and that you regain strength to continue his legacy.
                                                  Always,
                                                                            Malcolm.

Tony, Pat and the boys were wonderful neighbors all the years we lived in Pepperwood. It was a wonderful place for the kids to grow up!

Grew up near the  Destefanos in Pepperwood. They are one of many families that made growing up in this place amazing. I last saw Tony at a few block parties before they moved out. He was super cool and kind. I am so sorry for your loss.

I met Tony when I started working with his company back in 2011 as a freshman in college, along that journey Tony always instilled the value of family and I was even fortunate enough to pick his brain about Business which he never hesitated to answer. Our friendship will always be something I cherish.  Sleep peacefully Tony.

This image is when Tony & Patty were on a cruise in the Caribbean and stopped on my home island Saint Lucia (had to give them a tour ). Love to the entire DeStefano family during this time ❤️

We had same great times with you both during our relatively short time in Juno Beach: talking to Tony in the pool (while you were usually floating!), the wonderful food you had after the boat parades, the BC Sunday brunches poolside (we tended to gravitate to your table). Feel the love of your community of family and friends and know the we all are here for you for whatever you need. 

We graduated from St. Lukes together and he was my first "crush".  He was the best dancer, best dresser and nicest person you would ever want as a friend.  I still remember his laugh.  He will be truly missed by everyone who knew him.

Pat & Tony Pilla.

We are so sorry to hear that Tony passed away.   Prayers to the family.

We were so sad to hear of the passing of our wonderful neighbor, Tony.  We have many great memories from our time together at Bay Colony.  He was a good friend and we will miss him very much.
