We were so shocked when we heard of Anthony's passing. We were planning on coming down the day after Christmas and staying nearby so we could spend some time with all of you. We may still stop in, if you are going to be there. We cannot express how deeply saddened we are by this news. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Much Love, Jim & Rosemary Senzio, and family.

Dear Maryanne & Family, Lou and I are so saddened by this tragic loss. I remember Anthony as a child growing up in Brooklyn along with his sisters Rosie and Patricia and his parents, Pat and Vera. He was a very handsome, loving and happy child and I know he grew up to be wonderful adult whose life came to a tragic end much too soon. Our prayers are with the entire Sapio family that your fond memories will sustain you through this tragedy.

Susan and I are deeply saddened by this tradgedy. Tony was one of the friendliest people we ever met. We always enjoyed coming for breakfast and Tony would always take the time to come to our table and talk for a few minutes. The world is a sadder place without him.
