Coccio Family, I met Tony about 5 years ago at my former job at Community Fruitland..he sold us mushrooms in the fall and I just wanted you to know that he was a "gem" and was always a kind hearted man! They don't make 'em like his generation anymore!! I'm sure he will be deeply missed!

I was one of Anthony's childhood pals. I've known Anthony, his brother Raymond, and his brother Eddie, for many, many years. Our nickname for him was "Nini". He has always been one of my favorite pals, and I will miss him dearly.
