I am so sorry to hear about Tony's passing. I worked with him at Elizabeth Arden, sharing an office for a while. He was such a great guy and so much fun to work with! My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Craig and family~
Just wanted to express my warmest condolences for the loss of your father. He sounds like he was a very wonderful man and will be missed by all who knew him. I'm sure he will be looking down on you with much pride as he sees the wonderful father you are becoming to your little girl.
Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers at this very sad time.

Carol and Members of your family,
We were so sorry to receive the news of your loss of Tony last evening. This has really been a tough year for the family with the passing of Linda as well. Death is not an easy thing, but one thing we know for sure is that the both of them are no longer suffering and they are in a beautiful place but I'm sure that doesn't make it any easier on you. Thank God you have your family to help pull you through these hard times. We didn't really know Tony but from what we understand he was a fine husband, father and grandfather and we know you will certainly miss him. Our love and prayers are with you and your family.

We are so very sorry for your loss. We both worked with Tony for over 20 years at Arden. Tony and I worked at Technicians and then together in the Computer Area. We never had a disagreement or a cross word over all those years, just great memories! Tony was a great man and a good friend. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time as we are out of town.
