Not sure what to say?

Rest in peace and thank you. We have a beautiful granddaughter thanks to your decision to give a second chance,

I am so sorry Baby Rose for the loss of this fine man. I remember as a kid watching him studying at Tenth St. and to Michael who did so much for my brother Carmen my heart goes out to you and the rest of the family,after all weare cousins. LOVE YOU ALL

My family and I were so devastated and saddened to learn of the death of the man we called "the Captain". My husband nicknamed him that because he always wore a captain's hat. You all have a special place in our hearts -- from the days when Joe and Julie rented our upstairs for many summers and our son always wanted to hang out with "Mamma Julie" to the days when Judge DeFino would walk down Monterey to sit on the bench and we would reminisce about the days when everyone would sit in a...

Dear Mrs. DeFino, Carmella and Family,
Please accept our sincere condolences at the loss of your dear husband and father. He was such a wonderful gentleman and a very friendly, kind, person. He was a good friend to the Menna family. Aunt Rose(Uva) sends her deepest sympathy and love to all of you. May he rest in peace. God bless you.

If it was not for Tony my life would have been a lot different much Love DiFino Family.

The neighborhood, city, and world has lost one of the last TRUE gentlemen. The stories of school days between the Judge and my Father will never be forgotten. All of our personal memories will be cherished and passed on. The family can take solace in knowing that your worth in life is measured by how you are remembered - and the Judge was worth more than a king's ransom.
The Family of the late Camillo and Catherine DiBartolo

We were shocked and saddened to hear of Anthony's sudden passing. We will always remember him walking all around Wildwood and will miss talking to him when he sat on the bench at the end of Monterey Ave. Our sincere and heartfelt condolences to the entire DeFino family. Ed & Carol Gilmore, Monterey Ave. Wildwood Crest.

Our sincere and deepest sympathy to the DeFino family. Please know you are in our thoughts and prayers during this sad time.Mr & Mrs.Victor Folgosa
