Father Tony was a wonderful family friend when my family lived in Highland Park. We kept in touch over the years and he helped bury my sister and my father. Father Tony gave my mother the sacrament of healing just before her passing last December. I will miss his gentle style and his awesome sense of humor! Rest in happiness, joy and peace. John

I met Father T when my cooperative rented offices in Holy Ghost years ago. I got to know Father (and Libby and Finn) from our conversations when I'd come in and out of the building.

Father Anthony and I met, as children, when our parents/families became acquainted, living in the St. Clare of Montefalco parish area. Our families became very close and his Mom, "Auntie Ange" was my sponsor (Godmother, as Italians refer to them) for my Confirmation. I was present at his first mass at out parish, St. Clare.
As children we played together in my backyard....yes baseball, for sure. He was a real sports fan! Since I was the young one, I just ran to get the balls hit...

Fr Tony you were a classmate at QPS North then South. You were a pal. You officiated at our weeding at Mary Seat of Wisdom along with John Cusick. When the fortieth anniversary was held in 2010 I looked forward to seeing you. Yo did not show. Gosh I wish you would have joined us. I had a mass said for you at the Basilica on the campus at Notre Dame. I doubt you will need more blessings. You were one of many at QPS that I honored. You were a great pal joe zavislak
