Capt. Tony Tarracino

My dad went down there to the Saloon because he was his great uncle!

I drank in Tony's Saloon many a day and night. He gave me my first break from a Street Vendor on to Private Property renting me his porch. He essential started my career as a rent paying Jewelry entrepreneur and was VERY fair with me. I supported him in Politics and He was a mentor. RIP Goombah.

we will meet again......fair winds tony ;)

Happy Birthday Captain Tony! The world is not the same without you! We miss you!

I meet Capt. Tony many times in the past few years and he always remembered me. He told me a lot of stories and signed a lot of things for me. He gave me hope for making your dreams comes true. The last time I saw him was a month before he passed. Thank you for that last kiss. I will be there this week coming up but it won't be the same not seeing your wonderful face to greet me. I will never forget you!!

Captain tony,

Me and my wife saw you in july 2007 in your bar, you told us stories of your life we will always treasure. You treated us like we were family and you had known us years.

Thank you for your life, your stories and your bar, You are well loved and will be missed very much.

Gods speed into the sunset Captian Tony.

See you Feb 25th. I have a feeling you are still there.

Captain Tony,

My wife and I met you in Oct. 2004 while visiting for a close friends wedding. I thanked you for opening the greatest bar that I have yet discovered. We talked for a few minutes and we listened like school children to your stories.

You will be missed for a long, long time to come. Godspeed my friend.

Sail on sailor.

Warmest Regards,
Nick and Andrea Rapp
