To The Iacobucci family. I still have so many good memories of Tony when I think of growing up in Somerville. He was such a part of the neighborhood. That corner will forever bring back a smile. It should bear his name. The holidays can be tough when someone is missing. I hope the family is well.

If we could only turn back time , some of my best days was going into Tony’s store seeing him and Joe working the counter , making me feel like a million bucks , then Rocco or John or Marc would pop in and it was one big happy family , laughing and having fun, R.I.P. Tony your remembered and loved .

Just thinking of you grampy..I love you...

I know that it's been a while but as I drove by the store today all I could imagine was that booming voice and his beautiful smile as we would walk in the door. Some people are a thread in a tapestry of a neighborhood. Others, like Tony, were the glue that held a community together. A guy who unknowingly helped other parents by teaching their children to say please and thank you! And who, in the process, raised a great family of his own! I'm sorry for going on but as I drove past the store today I wanted to cry... Until I imagined that great laugh of Tony's and all I could do was smile.

Dear Rocco, Peppe and all the family,
Deepest condolences from the Luc Family. Rocco and I went to high school together, and I saw your dad probably every other day as I went to buy candy or cigarettes for my dad...for many years. I was always greeted with a warm smile. 'Leesa' he would call me and give me a hug. Your dad is very much a part of our history growing up in Somerville. I thank him for being a kind man.
We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Joe and family,
Words cannot express how saddened I am by the news of your dads passing. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him. He always had a smile on his face when I would see him on my way home from work. Even when I knew he wasn't feeling well he would greet me with a big smile and a big hug. You are all a reflection of him and what a great man he was. Stay strong. My Thoughts and prayers will be with you all. RIP Tony and watch over your wonderful family. God Bless. Lorraine(Masiello)Gadsby and family.

To the Iacobucci Family,
Our deepest sympathies to you all. Tony was and will remain an amazing example of the impact that the simplest acts of human kindness can have on those around us. His constant smile and happy greeting of "caio bella" always made my day and will stay with me always. He always showed great warmth toward my family which will never be forgotten. What an irreplaceable loss his passing is to our little corner of Somerville. It is a Blessing just to have known him.
Much love,

So sad ❤ You were one of the nicest guys. Growing up on Gorham St. my family always used to go to the store. Even after moving out of Somerville I would go to the store and play Keno and hang out with Ray, hoping to see Tony come in for scratchies so I could give him a hug. RIP Tony... I'm sure Al is happy to see you ❤

Pepe and family, I am so saddened by Tony's passing. Such a wonderful warm human being. You could always expect a smile and a hug from him. He was a fixture on the corner of Simpson Ave. No matter when you walked or drove by there, you would always se Tony. As a young boy, my son enjoyed going to Hodgkins Spa for slush.. The store was never the same after your family sold it,but we have nice memories growing up with Hodgkins Spa.Tony will be greatly missed. God Bless his soul. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

My condolences go out to all of you Iacobucci's, such a wonderful family I knew growing up, going to school with Lina, and the rest of children I looked up. Your father was a great man who I visited everyday at the corner store every chance I got when I had a few pennies. He was a good man and knew all the young children in the neighborhood... May he rest in peace.. And my prayers are with you all..

So upset to hear of Tony's passing. I have great memories of going to the corner store as a kid. In recent years, whenever I saw him he would always ask about my family and to say hi to them for him. I'll miss him very much. So sorry.

Tony was the greatest man I ever knew. He exuded Love and Compassion, Kindness, Strength and Bravery. He fought against all odds to make it to this country, of which he became a proud citizen along with his devoted wife Lena. He is missed by all his friends and neighbors and I can say that in all faith and from all their condolences. He was a singular man, husband, father, and friend. I am blessed to have known him and to be his friend. Love you, Tony! Carol Harper
