Can't and will not forget his smile. I recall at a party, Anthony was sitting in a chair, so regal and very nonchalantly said to my husband, Alex.....Alex, you really are different. And said in a very gentle, loving manner.

Dear Jeanine and family,

It is with great sadness that I will not be able to be with you for the tribute and celebration of Tony's life that you will be having to honor a wonderful person. Tony was a class guy who always treated others with care and respect.

I met Tony through my dealings over the years with the old Hines Lumber Company. His kindness to me personally will never be forgotten. He was truly one of the giants in our industry. May God give him the peace he so richly deserves. May He also give you all the strength and comfort with his passing.

I always loved listening to Tony's stories. He had such a kind, gentle heart. When I was around Tony, it was impossible not to smile because he was just so funny and sweet. I'll miss him a lot and will always be grateful for the years of friendship he shared with my dad. Prayers for Mrs. Pasquesi, his children and grandchildren. Tony really was one of a kind.
Sincerely,
Lisa Szarek

We are grateful to the Pasquesi family for sharing Tony with us. His humor and love of family and friends, as well as any and all sports is remarkable. He was a man of honor and a role model for all. Love, Nancy & Steve

I would like to add my condolences to the Pasquesi family on Tony's passing. I first heard about Tony from my father who worked with him at Hines Lumber. He would talk about the nice young fellow who had started to work in the same sales team. Later I also had the good fortune to work with Tony myself. He was a good man.

My condolence to the Pasquesi family. As a kid I grew up seeing tony at his cousin bobs house for parties listening to stories of there life and thru them I learned about tony and admired him. He is up in heaven now and they will both be together again laughing and joking. What a loss for everyone.

My deep condolences to Tony's family. I was so lucky to meet "Mr. Pasquesi" and play a lot of handball with him at the Oak Park Y in the early seventies. He was so gracious and supportive and I have and always will remember our post game chats about the perfect game and, especially, about family and about football.
