I'm so sorry for your loss. I worked for Tony's son Peter for many years and will never forget the pride and joy he brought Peter. Tony must have been a wonderful father as it was expressed in the love Peter had for him. My prayers are with you.

To the Martinello family,
I only knew Tony for a short while, but that time was a pleasure. On our short drives to and from the rehab workouts, we would swap family stories. Also, he was the one who taught me how to make homemade marinara sauce! He was always fun to talk to. May you all be strengthened in knowing he had a long full life. May God bless you!

Tony was like a second father to me. He was a wonderful man and even in the end he was concerned for my daughter Katie. My last real memory of Tony was around Thanksgiving, when I was at Gena & Pete's and was cooking something. I guess Tony realized I wasn't really a cook and he took over what ever it was I was cooking in the skillet. He did let me know that I wasn't doing it right. I will never forget the way Tony loved the deep fried turkey Dave always made for Thanksgiving. He was always in the kitchen looking for bites while it was being carved. I will miss Tony but I know he is at peace now. To Pete, Gena, Alyssa, Emily and the rest of Tony's family you are all in my prayers. May God give you the strength needed to live a life as full as Tony did. Love you all. Leeann, Dave and Katie

There are just no words to express the impact Tony has left on all of us -- most of all, through the sense of family and strong values that are expressed through Peter, Gena, the girls and rest of the family. Tony, we will miss you so; but you lived the kind of life that at the thought of you, I can't help but smile a little at the wonderful memories. God bless you, dear friend!
Love,
