My grandpa will always be one of the most amazing people I've ever met. Entirely selfless with a genuine love for life. If I end up anything like him, I know I'm on the right track. I love you, grandpa! : )

I remember Tony from the 12 years I spent in Research in Pittsburg. He was very patient with all the new and eager chemists and engineers, including me.

Tony was such a wonderful person and family man. He was a pleasure to work with in research at Dow. I used to see him at St. Peter Martyr after he retired where he was helping out. God speed Tony.

I worked in Research with Tony for several decades. He was a friend and a great guy. A memory: my wife and I were climbing down a steep trail above Emerald Bay when we met Tony and his kids coming up hill. We all chatted, then went on our ways. What a weird coincidence and a lasting personal memory.

Tony was such a wonderful friend and neighbor. He was godfather to my youngest son Zachary and him and Elaine were so much a part of our family. Rest in peace my friend.

I worked with Tony at Dow for many years. He was one great human being. Always helpful. Always had a smile. My daughter brought a friend home from high school one year. I didn't know anything about the girl, but when her grandfather, Tony Ambrosini, picked her up I knew that my daughter chose a good girl to have as a friend.
