Tony was a wonderful co-worker at John Hancock. He was smart and savvy, but more importantly a kind, supportive person. From our earlier days, he was also a fierce softball competitor. My heart goes out to Pia and all his family and friends.

I will remember Tony´s smile, laugh and consistently friendly demeanor. I´d see him most often many years ago at the Ferri home in East Boston. My sincerest condolences to the extended Della Piana and Ferri families. A special prayer for his loving wife Pia. May he rest in peace.

Tony was not only a work associate, but also a good friend who was so very kind to me after the death of my dear son, Peter. We have stayed in touch over the years - I last spoke with him in July on his birthday. We had a nice conversation, and I did not get any indication that he was so ill. I will miss him dearly. My deepest heartfelt condolences to his loving wife, Pia, and his children - may he Rest in Peace.
