Uncle Tony was like another father to my dad, Donald Pellegrino. They always used to go fishing and hunting together. I remember going to Auntie Mary and Uncle Tony's house and seeing their Beagles and little Yorkie, Rascal. He will be greatly missed, but the memories will last forever.

I had the oppurtunity to work with Anthony a few times, years ago. I remember him from a time when he was working with Rob, installing cabinets. He was a unique and energetic individual, a very likable man. I would like to express my sorrow for your loss.

To the Pellegrino family- I am so very sorry to hear of Mr Pellegrino's passing. He was such a wonderful caring man. We used to see him just about everyday on his walks -sometimes with Teddy and sometimes without. He always would stop and talk and ALWAYS have kind works to speak. He will be missed.
