Rosie
We (Mom, Dad, Greg & I) were so sorry to just recently hear about your Dad. We have such fond memories of him. Me especially from our childhood, from the Christmas Light "Wars" to him pretending not to notice me hanging on to the back of the moped as we zipped up and down the block. I particularly remember him staying with me, while my family was at the hospital the night my Grandfather passed away. He said just the right things to help a little girl get through that loss. I hope you and your family will have your cherished memories to help you get the this loss.
He will be missed.
Love (& miss) you,
Peggy

Dear Fantozzi Family: My sister Meryl and I had the pleasure of knowing "Tony" from our many years of going to the Phillies games. Every time we went to the ballpark, we would search out, and make sure Tony was doing well and hanging in there. He was such a wonderful man and always was so sweet to my sister. After the Phils won the division today, we finally found out that Tony passed away. We are so sorry for your loss. We really loved your father, grandfather, husband, friend, etc...
Our deepest condolences. Tony would have been proud to see the Phils win the division today!

Love, Scott and Meryl Chafetz

Rosie: Anthony, mom, and I are very sorry for your loss. We will always remember your dad in a special way. For me, little league would not have been the same if your father wasn't around. He always stood by my dad. He always had a smile on his face and a great attitude at the field. He was funny and kind.
