Tony was one of those very special people that occasionally meet with you in life's path. From the first day we met at St. X, our relationship always close. Even though we seldom saw each other in later years, any renewal was as though no time had passed. I will always be indebted to him for his efforts in insuring that my David graduated from St. X. Memories are too many for here, but this wonderful person will always be in mine. My love and condolences to each of you.

Dear Cousins,
Memories of my cousin Tony take me back to Nana's house on Second Street, where my family would visit and celebrate various occasions. After Uncle Joe passed away, Tony continued his acts of kindness to our family on Burnett Avenue until he moved to North Carolina. Now I'm sure that he is receiving his heavenly rewards for his many kindnesses.
Be assured of my prayers for your consolation.
