Tony was my friend in high school. When I lived in New Paltz in the 70's, I would stop into Tantillo's Market and the sporting goods store to say hello. Tony was smiling, and passionate in his views. I will alwys keep his smile in my heart.

Fawn,
My thoughts and prayers to you.

My deepest condolences to Tony's wife and family. We were in the same graduating class at OLL. Many fond memories of Tony and his wonderful smile, sense of humor, and great personality! May he rest in peace and may your happy memories comfort you at this difficult time.

My thoughts and prayers at this time of rememberance...Grace Moone
