He welcomed us into his home and even for a meal when Dave and us rode together coming home from Bona's. Loved those visits with Dave and his family.

Mr. DiStefano, or Pa-D as some of Dave's old buddies called him, was a friendly conversationalist and advice giver to all of us. Sharing pizza and a beer with him on the old breezeway of the house were happy and enlightening times thanks to him and "Ma-D". It was a pleasure to know him and pray he rests in peace.

Life-long memories from his class in school.

One of the nicest most genuine souls I ever met. Tony always had a smile and a cold beer to share and especially listened to you when you spoke. He will be missed!

This past summer I had the great pleasure of enjoying a meal with Tony. There is no doubt he had a special spark in his eye and loved his life! I was blessed to be in his presence and thankful to JoAnn and Norm for the hospitality. My deepest sympathy to the family of Tony Distefano.

Tony was an amazing person. He lived a life that always reflected the joy of life. Tony was always living his best moment. To meet him was to love, admire, and want to be around him even more. I think of Tony and smile. He was truly a reflection of God’s love.
