For those of us that grew up in very difficult and troubled unstable homes. The one minute Prince Spaghetti ad gave us hope as children that a loving home was possible. Thank you Anthony, you have no idea how you impacted the lives of desperate children. You gave us hope that families could love each other.

I loved joking with Anthony about the old days down the North End every time I saw him in District Court. Here were two old North End almost old timers reminiscing about the past and all the characters we both knew who are gone. District Court will never be the same without you, old friend. Ripose in pace con Dio.
