Anthony J. Palangi

"If I have seen further than others, it is because I stood on the shoulders of giants."

Despite his size and friendly demeanor, Tony was simply put, a giant. He carried sponsored youth in the New York District on his shoulders wherever he went. It was clear to everyone around that Tony had one interest in mind – and that was the children and the sponsored youth that helped facilitate the Kiwanis Family Mission.

At every sponsored event throughout my time in Key Club, Tony was...

In our lives we often come upon people who touch us in very significant ways.

Marty and I both felt this tremendous connection with PG Tony Palangi. I spoke to Tony this past week when he called and asked about when his article was due for the ESK. I teased him and told him he could take a break and send it in a couple of days. I asked, "why don't you slow down a bit?"

He remarked, "I go to my sponsored youth meetings because of what they do for me, the young people keep me...

Anthony & Nancy, Sorry to hear of your fathers passing. I remember seeing him at college. He will be missed by many.
With Our Deepest Sympathies,

The New York District Kiwanis Foundations has suffered a great loss. As newly elected President, I am saddened that my friend Tony will not be attending the very first meeting of my administration. Tony has been a figure of love stability and devotion at our meetings and I will deeply miss him. As sponsored youth chairman, Tony worked diligently with them all year long to help them be better people.
As an Italian immigrant myself, Tony and I shared a special bond, he often stated to me...

As evidence of all of the great things said about Mr. Palangi, he was just a great man. He assisted so many people in their efforts to try to make the community a better place to be. And he very much fullfilled this goal. In providing Service, Leadership and Fellowship to people around him and in fullfilling this motto that Kiwanis always had, it made him a name to go down in history as being one of the most selfless yet determined men I've met. Thank you Mr. Palangi for giving me the...

The Kiwanis Family is reeling from the loss of this gentle giant. How much he loved young people, and how much they loved him! Generations were touched by his great heartedness. We express our sorrow and sympathy to his family, and thank them for sharing his life with the Kiwanis family. In his Christmas card to us last year, Tony wrote that "one of the great benefits of Kiwanis membership is the lifelong enduring friendships that we develop working together in Kiwanis service". Indeed we...

WE HAVE NOTHING BUT HAPPY MEMORIES
OF OUR FRIEND TONY.

I have only met Tony once. I had the privlege of spening my first two NY Speaking Conferences with Tony. He was a very sweet man who knew how to have a good time. He did a lot for Kiwanis and the Kiwanis family. He defiantly made an impact on my life. He will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers are with his family. RIP Tony we all miss you.

Past SUNY Potsdam Circle K Pres.

My thoughts and prayers are with you, Palangi Family... I only met Tony once this past year and the Circle K NY District conference. However, I knew immediately he was an amazing person. I have pictures of him giving his speech and I remember sitting there being captivated by his words. He touched so many people during his life and I hope to do the same with mine! He will be very much missed by the Kiwanis Family and many more...
