Uncle Tony, I will forever cherish the memories that I have of you. The card games, (even when you would cheat and say you didn't), bacci ball, the barbecues and pool parties. You were patient and kind, and one of the best artists I have known. I will always hold those memories dear, and when Eli is old enough I will share them with him.
Love and miss you,
Alisa

Hi Uncle Tony, there is not a day which goes by that I do not think of you. I am surrounded by your paintings (The Girl with a Pearl and Lauren's portrait and a couple colored pencil and charcoal drawings of her when she was little. But, most of all I am flooded with a lifetime of memories of you. Summers on Long Island and how I cherished all of our moments together no matter what we were doing. (bacci ball, shuffleboard, going into work with you, walks, gardening, summer pool parties and biking together in Cape Cod)
You, Uncle Tony, brought COLOR into our world and there will always be shades of hue in my heart and my days because of you.
I love and miss you,

As a friend and neighbor for 31 years,everyday was a laugh with Tony.Tony was my best friend and we shared good and bad times together.Tony had a way of making bad things turn good.I would see him just about every day and if you knew Tony,every day would be a new experience.If there ever was a person to corrupt him it was me,but I failed because all I could get him to say is: what a "BIRD"
I miss him dearly.

I will never forget my Uncle Tony. When I was young, he was the highlight of our regular family trips out to “the Lake.” Our Sundays there were filled with his ping-pong championships and card games, and his jokes that were so bad they were hilarious. Yes, he occasionally “forgot” to keep the right score or moved his cribbage peg a space or two farther than he should have, but his too-obvious attempts at gaining whatever advantage he could were all part of the fun. When I got older, he would come to my son’s baseball games with my aunt and make videos of the action, complete with music and titles and punctuated by his non-stop narration of the games and just about anything else that crossed his mind. Uncle Tony was a visual artist by profession, but his greatest talent was that he made life beautiful in so many ways for all of us who knew and loved him.

What makes a neighborhood or community a special place to live is not the grandness of the homes or surroundings, but the heart of the people within.
We have been blessed to have you as a neighbor and more importantly as a friend for many years. You and your family are what make our community a wonderful place to live. We will miss seeing your smiling face and gentle wave greeting us. Our street has always felt like home because of your kindness.
Love, Kevin and Mary Guilfoyle

Dad,
It was hard to let go because you had such a love for your family; You can rest now. Know that your love taught all of us to be strong and embrace life. Our lives will be changed forever without you, though memories of the good days before you were sick will fill the void.
Your daughter, Toni Kay
