Anthony Venturini

Tony 17 years later and the other great Tony (Bennett) has now risen to greet you. I still remember your twinkling blue eyes, wonderful smile and above all your kindness to us all. I loved posing on the runner of that yellow car the picture of which you hung on the wall of the gas station; I was honored. After all this time I still miss you. I don´t see the boys anymore and pray the family is doing well. Your forever friend, Cheryl Rost

Dear Jack, Tom, Teri and John,
I am so sorry to hear about Tony. He was a real family man. All of you will be in my heart.

My prayers and thoughts to the Venturini family

May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of his hand.

Tony was truly a unique and wonderful man, so full of life and enthusiasm. A pleasure to be in his company. I will truly miss those three hour breakfasts we had when I was in Chicago and he was in Concord, NC visiting Bill and his family. We'll get together for breakfast in heaven I'm sure. To Tony's family my prayers and condolences.

To Tony's family, I am so sorry to hear that Tony passed away. We were friends for so many years and Tony (at the gas station) always took care of everybody's needs and kept our cars running. My deepest sympathy to the family of Tony Venturini, he will be missed very much.

Our sincere condolences to the Venturini family.Mr. Venturini will be remembered with much respect for the business man we knew with great integity and honesty.Our entire family were customers at Crosby's for many years.

Dear Bill,Cathy & Family,
We are so sorry on the loss of your father. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you now and always.
Rose Anne & Randy McNicol & Leona Capoccia.

My thoughts and prayers are with the entire Venturini family at this most difficult time. Tony was / is the best. The times we were heading to McHenry and we'd stop for gas, he always threw a case of Pepsi in the trunk of the car for us kids.
I'll never forget the time I got Tony's autograph for show and tell in school. I was proud to have a race car driver in my family - I still am! He was happy to do it for me and I was the talk of the class for a while. Thanks Tony!
Tony has...

YOU HAVE LOST YOUR DEAR FATHER AND I HAVE LOST AN OLD FRIEND. YOUR DAD ALWAYS HAD A SMILE AND A PLEASANT WAY ABOUT HIM. HE HELPED ME IN MY
EARLIER DAYS AS A YOUNG LAWYER GETTING STARTED. IT WAS ALWAYS NICE TO STOP IN AT CROSBY SERVICE AND SEE TONY AT THE STATION. I WILL MISS HIS FRIENDSHIP. MAY HIS MEMEORY BE ETERNAL.
