Tony was a can-do guy. Tell him what needs to be done or show him once and then He would come thru like clockwork! He worked hard & played just as hard, enjoying life to the fullest.
We will miss Tony, his weekly adventures & his home cookin' greatly each & every day. We will cherish the memories of Tony forever, while He lives on in each of us his life touched.

Tony & Melissa,
We are truly sorry for the loss of such an incredible person, that meant so much to the both of you! Tony, your father taught you eveything that you know today and that is something to be so proud of! Melissa, Tony Sr. took you into his home for a few years and treated you as you were his very own daughter. You should be so grateful you had someone like that to love you, as he did! Dennis and I can not even imagine the pain and loneliness you are experiencing during this difficult time. Please know that you are constantly in our thoughts and will always be in our prayers. Life can be very confusing sometimes, especially when a tradegy like this occurs, but every thing happens for a reason, maybe God was looking for a companion to humor him and I know that your dad will do that with his dances, smiles and great food and wine!!! Tony and Melissa, we are only a phone call away and 2-minute car ride away,please feel free to call or stop by anytime when you need a shoulder to cry on or a friend to share your inner most thoughts with. We will always be here for the both of you, never forget that. Alex wanted me to send a great big hug and kiss to help heal some of your pain, he loves you both so much!! Just think, you now have a beautiful guardian angel watching over you from heaven above! Take care the both of you and Tony Sr. may you rest in peace! <3 XOXOXOXO

I am very sorry to hear of Tony's passing. He always had a big smile and a friendly greeting for everyone, and I loved the wine cellar and those crazy, wonderful shirts. He was a good, positive person, and he will be greatly missed.

Tony Jr and your family; your dad was a great guy and a great friend to me and uncountable others. My hope is that you will follow my lead and when you think of Tony rather than feel the pain of his loss, relish his memory, his smile and giving nature.When ever his name comes up in future conversation I will be proud to say "He was my friend", lucky you can say "HE IS MY DAD"!

Tony was the kind of guy that would give you the shirt off his back. He exuded a kind of quiet confidence that is rare to find. Always good for a story or to lend a hand.The campfires at "TONY'S" at Sherkston are missed and WILL always be missed. "WANNA DO A SHOT ?" -Tony would on occassion refrain. My heart especially goes out to you T.J. Your dad was the real deal. God bless the whole Polichetti family in this time of grief. Tony will be missed but never forgotten. Glad to have known him.- Eric-

Tony Jr, Nichole, Sue and all the Polichettis:
Our hearts are heavy at losing Tony, but they are equally as heavy watching you in so much pain and knowing there's so little we can do to ease it. Please know you can reach out to any of us at any time.

What can you say about Tony? He was all about laughing, smiling and lending a helping hand. So many good times at Sherkston, Talty's, the wine cellar and at the dining room table. Who's gonna make the sauce now?

You're leaving a huge, gaping hole in our hearts Tony; but we'll try to keep it filled with the memories of better times. You left us too soon and too young. The only consolation seems to be that God called you while you were at your favorite place.

Watch over us friend, we'll be here thinking of you often.

All our love,

Jennifer Messing
