Tony was a gracious, kind man; one who had a knack for making a difference in people's lives. We will remember the kindness he showed to us for the rest of our lives, for he truly made a difference in ours. Our sincere condolences go out to Jana and his family, his friends and all of those he touched during his all-too-brief time with us.

I have known Tony as long as I can remember. From kindergarten graduation doing the hokey pokey to graduating from Shore together. Even as we all grew older Tony was still that ray of sunshine you wanted to always be around. My heart is broke for the loss of such an amazing person and friend. He will be in my heart forever and the memories a lifetime. Love you Tony.

Tony, I have always kept you in my heart as one of my favorite students. Lord knows, you put me through my paces, but no matter what mischievous thing you did, I could never get mad at you; instead you kept me laughing all the time. So much for discipline! You always were a breath of fresh air with your smile, friendliness, kindness, and sense of humor. Learning of your accomplishments brought me great pleasure and I was proud to learn you went back to school. It is with great sadness that I learned of your struggles, but I know you are with God and at peace. To Tony's family: I will pray for you all and hope that with time you will find peace as you face each day. Know that you are thought of by so many people who love you. With deepest sympathy, Beverly Muldoon

My deepest sympathy to the Strollo family. I have known Tony since pop warner football days, cheering for the West Long Branch/Oceanport Sharks. He was either joking around or always smiling. He will be missed and I am a lucky person to have known him.
