Dearest Dad in Heaven,  
Today, January 16, 2013 would have been your 89th Birthday. 
 I am once again sending off butterfly kisses to heaven.  
Big Brother Donnie,  I send them to you too as this is the 32nd year of your passing.   We all love and miss you both so very much!   Though our tears continue to flow, the memories will always make us smile.  You may be gone from this earth however, never forgotten.........Love always and forever Shar & Billy Lopez- O'Connor and Family

Dad, 
It has been almost eight months since  God called you home to help him in heaven. He wanted you to suffer no more. 
Thanksgiving is almost here. 
Hunting season is upon us once again. A reminder of family and friends seated around the kitchen table. 
I listen to the geese fly by and hear you say (in your words--"tousands and tousands" of them. 
Dad, I know I cannot see you on this earth. 
Surely, I feel your spirit near as I pray to you nightly with a prayer and a tear.  I love and miss you Dad and send you Butterfly Kisses!  Sharon:)

To My Dad (Tony), Father-in-law to my Billy, Grandpa to our Erin (David) and Amber (Adam), Great-Grandpa to our grandchildren, 
Angelina Sky and WillowSage,
The Lord saw you were tired and called you on home.
We know Donnie was waiting to greet and hold you ever so close after 31 years. 
We were all blessed to have you in our lives.  
Now it is our Donnie's turn.
Dad you suffer no more, and became an Angel of God. 
One day we will find comfort knowing you walk by our side. 
Stories we will share of our gentle Dad so dear, with a prayer in our hearts and a slow flowing tear.
Dad, you were a generous man who always found ways to provide for us asking nothing in return but our Love.
Your smile was contigious with a slight silly grin.
Dad you were truly a unique man.
Your life was like a very interesting book that could not be placed down. 
From beginning to end there was never a dull moment.
You were the main character and a character at that.
Always sharing stories from days gone by.
Honestly, we never knew what you were going to say next.
Tonight, I sit at my computer as I often do.
But this time my writing is only for you.
You and Mom gave us these precious lives to live.  
Though very hard to carry on we will do this for you.  
Living life to the fullest as you would like us to do.
One day we will meet in the house of the Lord.  
There my Daddy will be standing with big brother Don by his side.
They will say "Welcome Home and we will now be your guide."
So until than my Daddy above, remember we all love you with undying love.
I'll listen for songs that remind me of you.
I'll go off fishing and catch one for two.
I'll spend time by the water and watch the boats travel on by.
At that point I know it will indeed make me cry.
But I promise you Dad I'll have fun in my life.
I'll continue to dance as you taught me to do. 
Most of all I will try not to  feel so blue.
Dad if I may,  can I call out to you?
My Dad is and Angel and will surely come through. 
So on this little message I send off to my Dad.  Please give my big brother Don a long over due kiss.  
Live on in heaven with the Lord by your side.  
Hello to family and friends as they will now be your guide. 
P.S. Dad I hope you found your yacht! Now sail on away.  
Watch for me waving to the heavens above, as I send kisses to you and a whole lot of love.  
We will now continue your Legacy!  
We Love You Dad...Always and Forever.

My Uncle Tony always had a smile on his face and such a great personality!  I remember going to his house when I was a kid it was always fun, with all the food and I especially remember the salami hanging in the kitchen. I know he is in heaven now with my Dad sharing some old memories together. My thoughts and prayers are with my Aunt Frannie and the family at this sad time.
Your niece,
Caren (Joes daughter)

I am so sorry to hear of your Dad's passing.  He always reminded me so much of my Dad.  Our Fathers had a friendship that lasted a lifetime.  I have many fond memories of your Dad when I was young.  My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

My condolences to all the family;Fran I will miss my old friend.The laughs we had at Andrea's,and Marco's over a few Beers,and the conversations about Tony's family,of whom he loved very dearly will be missed also.I'll reach out to you on the phone shortly Fran;you were always a gracious host when I used to stop by on Ramsdell,and your new home.May God bless him,and all your family always.

Dear Phil, Francine, and Family, I'm sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. It seems like yesterday when we were all together for the 50th Wedding Anniversary Party. All the Best, Gary Sawyer

Anthony was only in my life for a few months, but getting to take care of him was a blessing. His personality was golden, and I enjoyed all of the stories he shared with me about his life. I looked forward to coming into work to care for him, and he always left a smile on my face when I was having a tough day. I'll never forget him always telling me to take care of myself, and drive safe, and that he loves me. And every single day he would ask me how my wedding planning was coming. I know he has touched many people in his lifetime, as he has touched me, and he will be truly missed. My blessings to Anthony's family and friends, and that each of you have joy remembering this amazing person.

Although I never had the pleasure of meeting you I knew your Dad from his yearly visit to City Hall to renew his license.  He never failed to come in with something for the girls either coffee or candy for us who were merely doing our jobs. Over the years I would see him every week at the Flea Market hanging with the guys and socializing more than selling.  He was always a warm and caring man who always spoke lovingly of his wife and family.  He will certainly be missed by many.

I was so sorry to hear of your loss.  The thoughts of many are with you at this time of sorrow.

Dear Phil, Carol & Family,
We are so saddened to hear of your Dad's passing.  I know he will be greatly missed.  My best memory of him was running into him at Pumpernick 'n Pastry when I was in Bflo visiting my Mom last year.  
With love & smypathy,
Nancy & Ron

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

As you share, talk and remember, may you truly know that Uncle Anthony is still living in your hearts.  His love and light live on.  God Bless all of you.
Steven, Michelle, Nicholas and Anthony
