So sorry to hear of Tony's passing. Tony was our neighbor who lived on our street. Whenever I would go for a walk and see Tony I would give him a salute. He always had a kind word to say. Another of our greatest generation. Rest in peace Tony.

Tony was a special human being. He was my dads best friend. When dad was in a nursing home with Alzheimer’s/dementia, Tony came to visit him. When dad recognized him he would be so excited to tell me that “My best friend Tony came to see me today”. I appreciated that so much. Tony was always smiling and loved doing handstands. Go with God Tony. Helen (and my dad) will be so happy to see you. To your family, I am very sorry for your loss but glad you have so many happy memories with your dad,...

Thank you to the entire Ambrose family for sharing Tony with us. Every day he was here he brought a smile to our faces. I imagine he is now dancing with his lovely bride. May you all find peace.
