Those of us who grew up near Sanguinetti Park on 6th Ave. remember Tony as one of the "Dads." We were indeed lucky to have these men as our mentors and models.

Tony was a wonderful husband, father and neighbor. He and Betty were such a big part of our young family years with them. He was a proud veteran. I can remember him sitting in his car with men who were studying for entry into the Masonic lodge. His was a life well spent and inspiration for many. Please accept the sympathy of all of our family to all of you.
