To the Romito family, my deepest sympathies for your loss. When you knew me I was Sheila Klein and lived next door to the Cecolas in Skokie.

Carolyn, Roxanne, Ashley:

My deepest sympathies to you and your family. Your dad had the innate ability to make everyone feel special. My fondest memories include long discussions with him on aviation, the "white" snowman outside the house each and every Christmas, the swimming pool, the motorcycle, and of course Muffin.

It was so nice to see each of you Thursday evening seeing the love and support from family, friends, and neighbors during this difficult time.

Carolyn,
There isn't much I can say that hasn't already been said. I loved and respected Tony a lot. He was always quick with a smile and loved life. I personally will miss him and will always remember him. He really did make this world a better place.

Your Cousin Edward

To The Romito Family;

I would like to extend my symphathies to your family in this moment of sorrow. Your father must have been a beautiful man to each and every one of you.
I know as a fellow Taft High School alumnus your father has left a proud legacy for both his family and his alma mater.
He will surely be missed by all.

I am missing him every second of every day! Our hearts are all hurting but I find comfort in the fact that I was able to love Uncle Tony for 29 years. It was a true honor! He is leaving an incredible legacy and I trust that my cousins and my aunt will carry it on! He always brought a smile to everyone's face and people fell in love with him instantly after they met him. Heck, that's probably why Steve married me, because after he met Uncle Tony he fell more in love with my family! I will...

I knew Butch in grade school and he was always drawing pictures of planes in class and talking about flying them some day. It would appear that he lived life like he dreamed it. Few people have this privilege. God bless and comfort his family during this time of loss.
