Tony always had a big smile and greeting for me and I will really miss that. He was loyal to his friends. Always caring about their well being. I will remember the happy times he was part of the bus trips to the casino and the coffee shop gang.  Tony always looked most forward to his trips  to see his daughter and grand daughter, madison

He suffered greatly. May his soul rest in peace. He and Maryanne are together in heaven.

May faith and courage guide you through this difficult time.

Tony, you joined our family when you met Maryanne.  We appreciate that you continued our friendship. We stuck together both through fun times and very trying times of health challenges. Best to remember the good times and thank god we could be there for one another. We will always remember you.    love, cookie & warren

My Dear Brother 
 I will miss your phone calls and our talks. But I know now you are in a better place. I am very sad I will not see or hear your voice. I love you very much and know someday we will meet again.

My Dear Uncle
 I will always remember that you were the one who took me to prospect park when I was little. And I will will always have memories of you coming and staying by my house and always making my children laugh with your funny stories. You will be missed so so much. But you will always be in our heart.

Tony, to my father in law who I called "POP" you always cared about our family and when we got together we always had a good time and enjoyed each other's company whether it was watching a movie together or meeting you at the casino. You will be dearly missed by us all. You are now at peace. God Bless!

One of my biggest memories I hold dear to me is our private movie dates . I think I was about Madison's age (8 or 9), we use to go to the United Artist Theater on Steinway Street in Astoria.  We seen Capricorn One, F.IS.T, and our favorite movie of all time Sylvester Stallone's movie ROCKY. We use to look forward for the next sequel to the Rocky saga. We saw them all together.  The last time you were at my house we watched CREED twice (back to back)  I think Paula and Phil thought we were crazy.  Rocky was a fighter just like you daddy.  You defeated the odds so many times. You've been thrown punches left and right in life but you still remained standing.I AM VERY PROUD OF YOU and  I am very glad you came back in my life. You made me and my family very happy especially your Granddaughter, Madison.  This past week I've been hearing the theme to Rocky courtesy of Publishing Clearing House.  I don't believe its a coincidence I believe its a sign that your still here with me  I love you daddy,  always and forever. your daughter Dorothy

Dear Anthony, Although we didn't know each other very well, the short time we all spent together, Phil and I found very enjoyable.  We remember how we all laughed on the way to and from your daughter Dorothy's house, and the great time we all had there reminiscing about times "back in the day". You will be missed. Love Phil and Paula (Middle Island, NY)

Dear Uncle Anthony:  May God bless you, Rest In Peace.

Dear Uncle Anthony,  Rest:) You are now in Heaven with your Mom, Dad and Sister.

dear grandpa, i love you and miss you. i hope you are in heaven thinking about happiness. i love you grandpa, you are the best grandpa in the whole world.          

-love madison    xoxoxoxo
