Bernice, John and Lisa,
My deepest sympathies on the loss of Antone. He was man of great and effervescent charm, character and sincerity. Antone led a life well lived, with family and friends all around him, and you are rightly proud and at peace with those memories and his comfort now in God's hands. Rest in Peace my friend.

Dear Bernice and John, I am so sorry to hear of Anton's passing. He has been an integral part of my life for many years at Knollwood and I fondly remember his Italian conversations with my daughter Elizabeth. Alice and I will remember him in our prayers.
