Mike and Chris, I was deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Tony. I have fond memories of him, hanging out at Carlo's upon his return from the war. He was a great guy.

Not a day goes by that I don't think of you Tony. You were like a grandfather to me. I still check in on Joey to make sure he's doing okay for you. I know how important that was to you. I look at him like a little brother. I miss you more than I ever thought was possible. Those last days in the hospital with you were so hard for me, but I am glad to have gotten to spend time with you and your family. You have had a huge impact on this city and my life, its crazy, it really is. I love you Tony, and I will cherish the memories we shared for the rest of my life.
Rest In Peace

Not a day goes by that I dont think about you Tony and its going to be hard to stop. You were a great role model not only for me but for East Boston.

It still feels like a dream since that day. I still remember when i was a child and you always brought Joey, Justin, and Me to the ball field. You were like a grandfather to us all and i have so much love and respect for you and your family. Words can't describe how much u ment to all of us who had you as a coach.
I love/miss you Tony Capozzi.

I knew Tony 30 years ago when I lived in Boston. He was such a great guy then, outgoing, friendly, thoughtful, considerate and so much more. East Boston will always remind me of Tony. I am sure he was a great husband, father and grandfather. I was blessed to have him in my life for a short time. Prayers are with family and friends.

I have the fondest memories of the Capozzi family. I can still picture them walking up Wordsworth Street talking to the kids, stopping to play ball, and always being pleasant to everyone. You were a wonderful family. In fact, Gunga used to call my Linda "Cha-Cha". Mike and Chris, you have my deepest sympathy. God Bless you all.

Every time I think of Tony I smile, he always made everyone laugh, he always took the time to teach. I will miss all his hugs and kisses and him calling me beautiful. All I have to do is close my eyes and see his beautiful smile. He was and always will be remembered as a great man, I will cherish him in my heart for all times as I do his boys. Tony, I love you and will miss you so much.

When kids on Wordsworth Street were playing, if Tony was leaving his house or going in, he would always stop for a minute or two to throw a ball around. It was 1964 when he first threw a ball to me (which I promptly dropped).
I will always remember Tony as a great guy. May he rest in peace with his mother and father.

To the Capozzi family,
We are so sorry to hear of Tony’s passing - East Boston has lost one of its greatest citizens. Tony’s dedication to the children of Eastie should be an inspiration to everyone. EB Little League will never be the same without him. When he said, “It didn’t hurt”, it always put a smile on Matt’s face. We will miss Tony dearly.

Thank you everyone for your words. My father would fall on his knees with joy to see how much people really love him. He was a man of boston, he was boston. Worked for the city, worked for the redsox, and worked for all of us. Taught me and almost everyother kid how to play sports. He can now rest with his father Gunga and mother Anna. god bless their souls and, DAD, we will all miss you. I LOVE YOU, YOUR SON, MICHAE!!!!!!

If I could tell you now I would say....
Of all people you did not deserve this and you will be missed. I wish I had the opprtunity to have you in my life and my son's life on a continual basis and for that I am sad. You were a vivacious person who brought a lot of joy to many inner city kids. Rest in peace my dear ex-father in law. I can still see your smile from here. I will always remember your laughter and jokes.
It seems like yesterday when I sat at the table with you and Lorraine with Michael to tell you I was pregnant. I was so scared. I have given you your very first grandchild who is the spitting image of you. Please watch over him and keep him safe.

Tony was an amazing fella'. It's terrible that he is no longer with us. As far back as I can remember Tony was there; for sports and as a wonderful neighbor. It's a shame that he will no longer be there behind home plate singing and humming his one of a kind tunes or standing beside the dugout cheering everyone on with his Yankee/Boston hats. Every time I step outside to walk the grounds of Brandywyne or any diamond he will be thought of and always respected. He's one of a kind and will be missed, though forever will he live on.
Tony: Rest in peace, we love and will always miss you. You could never be replaced. ♥

"Hey Cus", that's all I had to hear and I knew it was my cousin Tony. He had a lot of friends, but I am truly lucky to call him family. He was one of the best. I will miss seeing your great big smile around Eastie.

I have known Tony for many, many years, such a special man. I am so, so sad to see him go., but he is in a better place free of all that pain. I know he will be watching down on us with all our other angels that have gone before us. I will keep him and all the memories in my heart forever.

To Capozzi Family:
Sorry to see the news of the passing of Tony. He was a few years older than me [Chris played baseball with me in East Boston Little League] but he was a great influence on many of us growing up as teens in the Heights. I always respected his opinion on sports and on [life] and learned much from him during those years.
My deepest sympathies to you all.

I have known Tony all my life, and have many many happy memories that include Tony . My husband has only known Tony for 3 years and in that time he has loved him just as much as I have all my life. We are so sad to see Tony go, and hope he is resting in peace with all of his other "angels". I know Tony will always be our angel here on earth.

His love for the youth of his community and everyone he came in contact with will never be forgotten. I will always remember the wonderful times we had at the ball parks. He was such a humble man but he made you feel so good just being around him. He had such an outgoing personality. Tony will be greatly missed by me and everyone who has known him. He will be forever in my thoughts and prayers.

Our family extends our deepest sympathies to the Capozzi family. Tony was a mentor to my son in Little League. He always had a smile on his face and loved the children. Tony always encouraged the children to try their best and gave the kids pointers during games. His love of the game and passion for East Boston Little League was evident each and everyday. He has touched so many lifes along the years. East Boston Little League is what it is today because of Tony. Rest in Peace Tony .
