Not sure what to say?

A wonderful man. Was happy to try out for him at South Catholic in 1979-80. Rest In Peace TD!

I miss you Dad. I was reading through all of the kind words that people have written on here, how many lives you touched, how special you were and still are. You're an absolute legend and I am just starting now to wrap my head around how lucky I am to be your son. I could not be prouder. It will be difficult to bounce back from your devastating loss, but in your honor, I will always do my best. You and Mom created a beautiful family and an amazing life. I am forever grateful. Seriously,...

Dicicco Family, Please accept our Prayers

Dear Diane and family, our thoughts and prayers are with you. Both my daughter and I had the good fortune of being coached by Tony...Michelle at Soccer plus and myself at CCSC when Tony was beginning his coaching career. He was passionate and dedicated and made you feel important. May God bless.

I met Tony while we were teaching together in Vermont. Tony was more than a colleague, he was a friend. He was a great teacher and took his students on a lot of fun adventures from canoe trips to camping trips(in snow or sunshine). Thanks for the great memories. He touched a lot of lives in his short time in Vt. He will be missed by many in the Bellows Falls community.

We are so sorry for your loss. Tony touched so many through his passion for sports and people. He will never be forgotten for his accomplishments and the lives he has changed.
It is with regrets that we will not be able to attend his memorial. Our hope is that so many friends and family give you strength and comfort through this difficult time. He will be missed.

Tony was the sweetest soul. He taught me to swim when he was a lifeguard at Mill Woods park. He was also the first to encourage me to play soccer even though there were no girls teams at the time. I played with the boys and went on to play in college. Love and prayers to the DiCcico family.

My sincere condolences to the DiCicco family. Tony was a teammate at Springfield College and over the years, when I coached at Farmington HS, we shared a passion in the development of girls and women's soccer. He was a guiding light not only in our sport...but more so in life itself. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
