Tony was a great family man and he was a dear friend of my family for many years. He had a passion for life and was devoted to his friends and family. He had a great sense of humor and anyone that knew Tony loved him.
He would come over to our house on Gedney park Drive and spend hours just talking and chatting about politics and world events.
And even though a few profanities would slip out now and then my mother never minded and just loved Tony.
I always remember when he was trying to emphasize a point he would say
"You get me Billy boy, you get me!"
Just a great guy.
I am so sorry for this loss.
Best wishes to the family,
Jim Luddy

I had a lot of contact with Tony when we both worked for Westchester County. He was a fine gentleman. I was an Inspector with the Westchester Police until my retirement in 1988. May God bless him.

The Manhattan College alumni community shares the grief, and is now praying for our fellow alumni and the family at this time. The Alumni Office has been informed. As well as the Jasper Jottings community that I personally can reach. We are all a little poorer now. "No man is an island, entire of itself ... any man's death diminishes me". We are sorry for your loss.
