Anthony James LaBarba

James and Debbie I am so sorry for your loss . My prayers go with you during this time of need. May God ease you heart and soul. Just rest and trust in him. Love you Deb. You were always the bright face when you would come into the office. Thank you so much for that. God bless your family.

Tony was one of a kind. His wealth and knowledge about wine and food was tremendous. For us Chefs, in the Dallas/ Fort Worth, area he was our greatest Ambassador.He touched many hearts. I was fortunate to have known Tony.

Thanks to all of you who have shared your kind thoughts and memories...My father touched so many people in so many ways, it is an honor to read your expressions.
God Bless you all!!!!

I always enjoyed my visits with Tony and Mary at their home, usually on the day before Christmas. My mom, Lucille Campagna would bake cookies and make cannoli's and I would bring them over to the LaBarba's. Tony would entertain me and educate me at the kitchen bar. He would make me a "Butterfly Flick"(orange juice and Tuaca),wish me a Merry Christmas and send mom and dad several bottles of fine wine! We will all miss him!

Mr. LaBarba was a wonderful man It was a pleasure to serve him at Andiamo for 12 years. May his family be comforted in knowing that he touched many peoples hearts and is now truely home.

Tony, thanks for setting a place for me at the table.

Tony was one of our favorite characters and fellow wine wonderman. Kindness, and caring will always be our wonderful memory. He will be missed.

Tony gave me my first job in the wine business back in the mid 70's. In an industry that was dominated by men, he took a chance by hiring (gasp) a female. He will always have a special place in my heart.

My mother grew up near downtown Dallas with all the LaBarbas and other beautiful Italian people
