I will always remember the good times we had at family gatherings. I love sharing our birthday parties  and cake with Tony. Such a kind and gentle soul. God blessed me with the best Godfather anyone could ever have. Tony is reunited with his beautiful wife and now both of them watch over the family. Always remember Tony with love and respect.  Rest peacefully. Love, Karen & Ed, Kim & Ian, Lisa & Jordan 

Dad C,

I have so many wonderful memories of you & Mom C over the years.  You were both so warm & loving to me & always made me feel like a part of the family.

You took such good care of Mom C over the years & in turn your girls did the same for you.  They learned from the best.

Rest in paradise with your true love.
Until we meet again.

I miss you already Daddy. Im trying to find comfort in knowing you are no longer in pain & you are now with Mommy. But to tell you the truth, even if you were ready to go home to Jesus, I really was not ready to let you go. Is that selfish ? I think it’s just because I love you so much & didn’t want you to go. 
Thank you for everything you did to help me & everything you did to keep our family going. You taking care of Mommy was amazing & I hope we took good care of you just like you did for Mommy. The past 2 weeks before you left was hard but I hope you know you were never a burden & I didn’t mind taking care of you even in the crisis.
 Thank you for the memories watching Price Is Right & Lets Make A Deal together & for all our family get togethers. Saturday afternoon visits after doing your food shopping & me & Brenda & you would sit at the table & talk. I’m gonna miss everything. I miss you Daddy. Thank you for that last kiss on me & Maries hands the day before you left. I will cherish that forever. I love & will miss you forever. Rest in sweet paradise Dad. Tell Mommy we love & miss her so much  too. Till we meet again ....

Your daughter

Pop pops, I have so many great memories I’m not sure where to begin , from playing “happy birthday “on the harmonica for everyone in the family for their birthday, to making the best omelette around. I always really loved hearing all your stories especially the ones as a young boy in Italy. All the “monk” episodes we used to watch when you and nanny would watch Doug and I after school , and all the fun you, uncle bill, Bob and I had on the bowling league, but most of all my favorite time we shared was watching you do all your magic tricks , always leaving your audiences with their mouths hanging open in amazement as they watched “The Amazing Anthony “ perform trick after trick each better than the last and never run out of tricks to do . In your last years we got closer than ever before .I loved visiting more often for poker night. There were nights I didn’t feel like going or was exhausted after work but I always tried to make it just for you , I know it made you so happy to see us , even though the seat you had never really seemed to win playing cards I know now that didn’t matter to you one bit , you were winning the whole time just with us being there for you , and that’s what matters. I really hope we made your last days as fun as you wanted I know we had a blast playing “who drew it” , I miss you and love you a bunch pop pops ,rest easy In heaven 

Love your first grandson

To my loving father, you were always there for me whenever I needed you. Thank you for all you’ve done for me and my family and for being the most wonderful dad and pop pops. I will always remember the magic you taught me, the fun times we had bowling and our late night phone calls and puzzle Friday’s. Thankyou for watching all those old movies with me. I really enjoyed them and I will always cherish the time we had together. I love you daddy with all my heart.      I miss you                   Love, Lorraine 

Daddy, it has been only four days since you went Home to paradise but I miss you so terribly.  Your DVR is still taping Mannix but I don’t think I can watch them without you.  It’s just not the same.  We had such fun together playing poker and Friday games.  You wanted your last year on earth to be fun and it certainly was.  We laughed so hard during our Friday night games, sometimes we couldn’t even catch our breath!  Whenever I have Panera broccoli and cheddar soup, I will know you are sitting besides me.  Panera soup was our thing.  I recently told you I won’t forget the shaggy dog comment and I won’t.  I think of it lovingly.  I know everything you wanted me to do and I’m taking care of it like I promised.  I know you are doing your magic tricks as brilliantly in Heaven as you did on earth.  I love you and miss you, daddy.  Love, Marie 

Anthony Costanzo, my Pop Pops, was the nicest man you could know. I loved seeing him at holiday gatherings and birthdays. He always played the happy birthday song on the harmonica and he was so good at it. He taught me magic tricks and always enjoyed doing it. He was so funny when we played games together. When I was told that he didn’t have too much time left on earth, I knew I had to make more memories with him. I started going over to his house for poker games and board games to make him happy. He always made us laugh during the games, even the times that some of us didn’t want to go. You could go there not wanting to really be there and leave having had a great time. I’m so glad I got to make the memories that I did with him. I know his last years on earth were fun, just like he wanted and I’m glad I was a part of it. I’m truly going to miss him forever and it will never hurt any less that he’s gone. I love you Pop Pops
