Not sure what to say?

God rest your soul, Tony. Thank you for the good care and service you provided to my brother Davey. Your name was a household word in our family. That agent who looked out for Davey so well and lovingly. The angels are blessed to have you among them.

I worked with Tony while attending law school. I learned so much from him, not just about negotiating, but about life. I wish I could´ve spent more time with him. Condolences to his wife Brenda. Len Ackerman

I just learned of Tony's passing. Bobby, I will always remember, after you brought a few of your Legion ballplayers up to Gervasio, how Tony generously worked with me on "the art" of playing shortstop. His quickness surrounding ground balls in the hole, I forever tried to emulate! He was kind and fun, and has always remained in my memory! I know the family has had too much loss in the last few years. My deepest condolences to everyone! With love - Steve Karp

Tony represented me my entire career. He was a great friend. Blessings to the family. Ken Schrom. MLB pitcher 1976-1989

Everyone I encountered who...

Sorry to hear of Tony's passing. I grew up around the corner from Tony on Maple Ave. We were in most of the same classes at Roger's School. We touched base for a while maybe 15 years ago via email.

Sad news. Played LL baseball with Tony on Den Road (Stamford Lions). My condolences to his extended family.

The picture of Rogers School with Tony was submitted by Joe Gesullo, his friend. My name was omitted from the Tribute.
