Tony Principe

Grandpa,

I was 10 years old when you and Grandma welcomed our family into your home to live. Cary and I were blessed to spend so much of our lives with you and Grandma in it every day and every night!!! You have always been there for us no matter what!! You always believed in us, encouraged us, and told us to follow our dreams. You have never let us down!! Cary will never forget the times she took such good care of you and even though you didn't need the help you let her do it...

Dad,

I sat in my room last month and remembered all the wonderful things you had done for me in my life. There are so many I could not even begin to list them, except for one. The memory of you always singing to me "Daddy's Little Girl." The last time you sang that song to me was on my wedding day many years ago. If I close my eyes I can still hear you singing it. How I wish I could hear you sing it to me one more time. I love you and miss you.

Love Forever,
Your...

Dina, Cary and Family,

We are sorry to hear about the loss of your grandfather. Our thougts and prayers are with you girls and family.
We love you,
Lis, Dad, Jess, Billy, Ally and Bob

I have fond memories sitting with Mr. Principe at many a family gathering. He always had a wonderful smile and a kind laugh. I enjoyed talking with him and he was always very very nice to me.

My best memory is of last May when we were at Dante and Ezra's birthday party. Mr. Principe and I got to talk quite a bit that day. He had several American flags with him. He gave me two of them. We kept one here at home, and the other I placed at my former student's grave, on Memorial...

Please accept our deepest sympathies.

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief. Our prayers are with you.

I was Tonys neighbor for over 30 years. You couldnt ask for a better one. My condolences to his Family. He will be missed. He used to ask me to help him with his flags, I loved his patriotism & proudly helped him when he asked. And every time he added anything to his 911 shrine he had to show me. Ginny & I will miss him. I added a audio on the other entry, One night about 4 years ago it was a summer night & I heard Tony singing in his garage, It sounded great so I grabed my Video recorder ,...

My memories of Tony have faded with time but have been renewed with his passing. I remember the two Tonys, my Dad and Tony Principe enjoying each others company at the Country Club building their Castles. How could I forget Tony's enthusiasm in cheering with my Dad for another Tony, my son, on the football field. Over the last few years, Nell, my wife, is well versed on Tony Principes role in our families life.

With this thought still in her mind it inspired the following...

I have so many great memories of Grandpa - but one that I think best describes his character is this. When Cabbage Patch dolls were first coming out, it was insane to get one of them and of course, all the granddaughters wanted to have one. (If you had daughters or wanted one yourself, you know what I am talking about!). He stood in line for hours and hours to be sure that we could all have one. He always sacrificed for us & his family was the most important thing to him.....I definitely...
