Not sure what to say?

Sure do miss you Tony. My dad Matt Franich always spoke highly of you! RIP!

I had the privilege of meeting Tony Sr. when I started working at his restaurant. It was the year of 2004. The new Tony's was a wonderful place to work. Tony was there everyday and we would have many talks, not only about the restaurant but he truly cared about what was going on in your life!! I looked up to him and I truly cared about the success of the restaurant. He would sit in the bar and I had the honor to make sure Tony Sr. had everything he needed.

We were so sad to hear of Tony's passing. Our family has many wonderful memories at both of his famous restaurants. He was a pioner in our community, and we are better for knowing him. We sympathize with all of his employees, family and friends. God bless you all!

My deepest sympathy and condolences to the family of Tony Trutanich. It was always a pleasure to visit his restaurants -- and see his smiling face and talk with the person whose name was on the building. That is becoming increasingly rare in the restaurant business. I will always be grateful for the courtesies Tony extended over the years.

We are so sorry to hear about your Dad. What a great man. I have so many wonderful memories of your Dad, your grandma and grandpa. Your Dad was my hero when I was growing up living on 15th. We are sorry that we missed the memorial, but we were out of town. We will all miss him. May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Tony was the single largest employer of our family during our high schools days in the 70's. He will be remembered for helping put food on our table as he did for many South Bay families. God Bless.

To The Family,Friends,and the staff of "Old" and "New" Tony's our thoughts are with you.
