Dad (Frank Sigona) joined you on Friday 7/30/21 in the heavens above... One day after your birthday, Tony, hope you are all celebrating a beautiful life without pain. Miss you dad. You two were crazy when you got together but I enjoyed the friendship and I miss the screaming over each other to be heard! You two were something else!

Frank talks about "Tony" often to anyone who will listen. Telling stories of when Tony had the garage on Chapman St., when he was a Policeman, when Frank when down to Florida and met some of Tony's friends. Frank lives more and more each day in the past at the age of 93 now. He misses the good old days, instead of how things are now for him. So many are gone that he misses. Tony, Sam Emmi, and too many others to list.
