Not sure what to say?

I miss you so much it hurts. You could always make me laugh and forget about whatever was bothering me. I miss doing the puzzles with you!!! I miss watching weird sci fi shows with you. I miss your wisdom in times of trouble. I miss your voice and your smile.
Time has not made it easier. I feel your absence everyday. I never knew it would be this hard. I was so lucky to have you and I will always be thankful that you were my Dad. My heart hurts. Love you forever....

Happy birthday Dad...I miss you so much...wish we were going to eat at Fratello's :( would give anything for one more day with you...love you always....

I miss you papa

To the Formica family.....I was so sorry to read about Tony. I remember him well from all the lunches I crashed between my late husband, Mike, and Tony in the early 70's in downtown Cleveland. He was quite the character, which was probably why the two of them got along so well. He, and your entire family, will be in my thoughts.

It just doesn't feel right not seeing you in your usual space at the bar at Savannah. Sunday afternoons there just won't be the same. We'll all miss your sense of humor and your unique and colorful perspectives on life and everything under the sun. I'm sorry you had to leave us so soon. God bless the loving family and friends of our Tony.

We celebrate a life that touched many people and we grieve for the loss of a truly generous and funny man. We will always remember Tony, his no bull way of telling you straight up just how it is and you always knew where you stood with him. And what an awesome cook, who will ever make cavatelli like Tony? Our thoughts and our prayers are with Tony's family who meant so very much to him.
