I have many happy memories of Tony. I am sad to know I can not call him and chat and enjoy laughter with him. His smile was as BIG and bright at the star he now is in heaven. I am very lucky to have had him as a wonderful friend. Thanks Tony RIP

We have been truly blessed by being Tony's neighbors on Callie Ave, Morton Grove, for the last 8 yrs. We held some truly interesting and fun conversations with him. Learned about the true, genuine love of his life, his departed wife. They are now reunited and together for eternity. Our prayers go out to his entire family during these difficult times. He will be truly missed by us.

I am so saddened to hear of my old friend's passing. I was 13 and he 14 when we first met and we remained good friends throughout our high school and college years and beyond, until distance and life itself separated us. I loved going to his house and talking to his dad...who was much like Tony. He always made me laugh. Tony and I attended John and Luna's wedding together. That was a lifetime ago. He married his beloved wife while I was away in L.A. working. We talked a few times and saw each other once when I went to order some furniture from him at the Merchandise Mart. We exchanged Christmas cards for many years. And then...nothing. I knew then that his beloved had passed away from cancer, I believe. His grief was devastat
ing. Now they are together again. Tony made my difficult teen years a distant memory. He was kind, warm and loyal to his family and friends. May they both rest in God's loving peace. My thoughts and prayers go out to his beautiful family.

Tony was my 6th floor neighbor, who I greatly enjoyed talking to and knowing for the many years we lived in the 8300 condo building.He was always pleasant and helpful. I will miss seeing him.
