Had a wonderful time playing drums for you in your big band. Also, great memories performing with your daughter Patti at Cascone´s for many years!! Miss you both very much!

Tony DiPardo was instrumental in encouraging my Mother's Singing Career. Her name was Mrs. Betty Ann [Bryan] Craft.
Betty spoke very highly of Tony. She honored his encouragement by being a singer who sang in about 15 languages, and it is my firm impression that she was offered a 10 year contract from Disneyland, a contract longer than any other woman singer like her. Of this, our whole family will pray for you, and Thank You ever so sincerely!
John Crooks, Betty Ann Craft's son.

I just learned of Tony DiPardo's passing. I went to Eastwood Elementary School many years ago and was in the same grade as his son, Tony. My mother, who passed away in 2006, spoke of and enjoyed his performances in various locations throughout her life. My deepest sympathy to all of his family.

Tony DiPardo was a longtime friend to my own dad---the late Charles W. Fisher---who served on the City Council and was a Past Potentate of Ararat Shrine Temple in Kansas City, MO. Tony entertained so many Kansas City friends across so many years and he was always the perfect gentleman!
I last visited Tony shortly before his hip fracture and he was as optimistic as ever. In addition to my dad's friendship, Tony enjoyed the friendship of the late H. Roe Bartle, the Mayor of Kansas City when my dad served on the Council.
Tony will be missed but his music will live on forever! My prayers are with his family.
PAX and love!

It was wonderful to call Tony our friend. We have many wonderful memories of Tony whether it was doing charity work on Red Fridays, racing or seeing him at each Chiefs game before going to our seats. It was a thrill to get to know Tony personally and visit his home. What a gentle and kind man who loved everyone and was so thankful for all of his blessings. You earned them all Tony! You were also blessed with a lovely wife Dottie, daughter, Patty and son-in-law, Robert. Our hearts go out to the family and we miss Tony dearly. You are home now Tony but you will always be in the hearts of many and remembering you will put a smile on all of our faces! GOD BLESS YOU

I was fortunate to have worked with Tony when he was the headliner for a convention I was responsible for back in the late '70s. He was funny, self-effacing and so gracious. We were so thrilled to have him, but he acted like it was his first big gig! Folks like Tony are rare indeed and the world is a better place for his having been here.
I'm pretty sure he's leading the TD Pack band for the Big Guy!

I'm sad to hear of Tony's death....he was "Mr. Kansas City"/"Mr. Chiefs" to me....thanks, Tony, for all the great memories...Kansas City was definitely better because of you.. .btw...I rememeber Tony signing his book, not that many years ago at Price Chopper in Lee's Summit...what a gracious guy....

Dodi,Patti and Family,
Please except my deepest sympathy on Tony's passing. I was out of town and unable to attend the services. Tony was one of the true legends of Kansas City and always a total "Class Act"...I use to love to kiss his Super Bowl ring and call him "Don Dipardo" We will all miss him at Garozzo's and in Lee's Summit the corner booth will always be The Tony Dipardo Table. God Bless....
Sincerely,
Michael Garozzo

Dear Dodie and Family,
We were so sorry to hear of Tony's passing. What a wonderful person!
It was a real honor to join his many friends and work to improve the community around him.
He made everyone feel special with his hugs - he brightened the world around him with his music.
May he rest in peace!

Doddie, Patti,and the DiPardo family,
Rene and I loved Tony and deeply regret that we could not express our feelings to you in person-for his smile, the thumbs up gestures, and hugs given whenever we met.The weather made it so difficult just to get home that evening from our jobs to come to Tony's memorial reception, and if we had ventured out to come, I doubt if we could have made it.
We do wish to express our heart felt sorrow over your loss, and indeed, the loss for us all who shall dearly miss the trumpeting cherub in our lives-surely one of God's special gifts was Tony DiPardo- a beam of light always shining in Kansas City. May God wrap you in His arms as He does now for Tony in heaven.
Our love and prayers are offered for you and all the DiPardo family.
February 4, 2011
Dear Doddie--so very,very sorry to hear of Tony's passing(Diann and I are in Calif. and we just heard) We loved Tony so very much and had many great times with our Rotary club events, Tony coming to our tailgate parties and cooking with Tony at the Rotary camp--I shall miss him very much and bless you and your family---Keith Smith

I loved going to the games in the 70's and each time would look over from our seats to see Tony Dipardo strike up the band. So many good memories!!!! We will miss you, but we'll continue to feel your spirit at each game. YOU were certainly THE BEST!!!!

Arch Martin, Marshal DeMunk, Bud Childers and I used to ride to the
early Chiefs games in Bud's VW Van to play for Tony's "Zing" band.
Some of my most favorite memories of playing in Kansas City.
Tony was MISTER ENTHUSIASM, and always the gentleman.
He'll be cheering on "War Paint" and helping out with all the guys in

From the Cariddi Family to Yours,
We are so sad about "OUR" Tony's passing. We were ALL so lucky to have him. What a man! What a wonderful, wonderful man!! From him backing us singing at the Italian Festas to just running in to him around town~he ALWAYS made our day! He will be sorely missed by those who had the beautiful chance to meet and know him. My Father and Mother, Mae and Jim Cariddi, are especially saddened and send their best and heartfelt condolences. Heaven just got it's BEST!

To Doddie, Patty, Tony Jr and the Di Pardo Family
I always thought Tony was immortal....but I figure the good Lord needed a big band leader. Tony was larger than life to me....never met a stranger....had more friends who loved him and what he did for the KC community. He was most generous of his time if you had a charity event. He was the "face" as the official starter of the Len Dawson Celebrity Classic for over 15 years.
The good Lord blessed us all with his presence.....I am forever grateful for his kindness and friendship. I am a better person for knowing Tony and the DiPardo family.
My memories of Tony are so precious...and bring a smile to my face.
Play on Mr Music....you are the Lord's Band Leader.
But I miss you.....my sympathy to all the DiPardo's.

My favorite memories of Tony were when he MC'd the Talent Shows for Camp Enterprise at the Rotary Youth Camp. Those high school kids were so excited to meet him and so pleased when they won those autographed footballs. He made so many wonderful memories for them for so many years. We will take care of the piano at the camp for you Tony. Marc Horner Rotary Club #13.

Dear Doddie and family - Kansas City will not be the same without Mr. Music. Oh, the joy he spread around each Sunday home game (and many, many other days and places).

Dottie, Patti and family, My sympathy goes out to you on the loss of Tony. I knew that his red horn produced excellent sounds and I also recall the Blue one he used when performing with Patti at a Royals game. Whatever the color of the instrument, Tony will be a leader of "charge" with the band upstairs. God Bless you always, Jim Gill

Tony was the first bandleader that hired me to play piano with his band, when I moved to Kansas City in 1984. Since then I have many happy memories of gigs with "the old man". He was always a class act and it was my honor to have worked with him. TD is surely leading an all-star band in Heaven now!
January 30, 2011
Dottie,Patty and Family. I am sorry about Tony's passing. I knew when he broke his hip that it would be very difficult for him, but with you two and a loving family he never wanted for what he needed. I lost my Patti in April and I know she would join me in thanking all of you for our wonderful relationship over the years!!! Hope to see you to celebrate Tony's wonderful life!! Love...Dale Herrick

Chiefs games were not the same without Tony & the band. The spirit of the crowd was always lifted when he'd raise his trumpet in salute to the crowd. Never determined which was the brightest his shiney trumpet or his warm smile. 80,000 people felt they knew him personally. There's a new trumpet player in God's orchestra.

January 30, 2011
I'll never forget his warm hugs and beautiful smile every GAMEDAY! A man that could make you feel special just by waving hello, I'm sure God had a special place for him right when he arrived in Heaven! I'm blessed to have celebrated life to his music and be inspired by his passion for not only music, but his family as well. We love you TD, thank you for sharing your life with us! Sending my love to Patti and the entire family!
January 29, 2011
I was fortunate to have known Tony for quite a few years through the music business. I have always had the utmost respect and admiration for him. I loved working for him, and with him as well as Patti. When I got to be on stage as part of his organization, that's when I considered myself a real musician. I will keep him and his lessons in my head and heart for as long as I live. Thank you Tony!!!! John Isom Clearview City, Ks.
January 29, 2011
Tony provided us with Chiefs seats through my sister, Joyce Spencer. I was at many great games because of Tony. When I spoke to him after I lost my sister, he told me that there would never be another Joyce Spencer. I thought that was very kind. He also told me that he had a picture that he would show me of him and Tommy Dorsey selling war bonds. I regret that I never got to see the picture. Thanks for the kind words and the memories, Tony.

Tony was such a gentleman, businessman, and musician who we enjoyed many times. Two such times were when he handed me his horn to sit in and play "Indiana", and the other was when he autographed his book which I enjoyed reading very much. We will all miss him.
