I only met Tony Gregorio a few times. But I worked with his son, and I met his grandsons. It is said that the apple does not fall far from the tree. That was quite a tree! Requiscat in pacem.

Tony was a co-worker, mentor and more importantly a good friend. Proud of the fact he never missed a day of work due to illness. I hope someday to see a copy of the book he said he was writing.

I will miss his infectious good humor and laugh. May he rest in peace.

When I was very young, I was afraid of Mr. Gregorio but I don't know why. When I was about 12 he asked me to help him with his handball court and pool. I was flattered.

Every person who knew Anthony became a better person for knowing him. His infectious zeal for life spilled on to you whether you wanted it or not! I'll always hold the gift of him teaching everyone to live life to the fullest. What a great example of being grateful for one's life.
He treasured life and didn't waste an ounce of it!! BRAVO! Ciao, for now...my friend...I know we'll meet again..and if, by chance, you get a minute, can you tell my mom I said hello!!! Luv you!! XO.
