Ann Marie, Tony, Kevin, Chris, Stephen and families,
We are so sorry for the loss of you dad, my cousin, Tony Blasi. He was always a kind and soft-spoken man. When we were young, we all visited each other often when we would go the "Homestead", at Aunt Vi's house. I have such great memories. Seeing pictures of cousin Tony and his family on Facebook just warm my heart. He was a great man and I'm sure he will be missed greatly. Gone way too soon.
Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this very sad time.
Love,
Annette Blasi-Strubeck and son, Alexander Strubeck.

I was deeply saddened to hear about the loss of Tony. He was truly a kind gentleman when I waited on him at the bank I worked at. I also would see him in public and he always had a smile on his face. He will be missed. Prayers to you and your family.

Very sorry to read of Tony's passing. We were old friends from WSHS, and always got along well and had lots of fun with our home room antics. Also enjoyed many basketball games together.

All of the images I have of Mr. Blasi automatically have him smiling. He was a great man to grow up around, along with a wonderful family. God Bless to you and love to the Blasi family.
