Janice, Anthony and Miichael - " To Live in the Hearts of Those We leave behind is not to die." Tony is a Great Man, Husband and Father and I wil miss his smile and style. He's an absolute Gem, consummate Gentleman and the real "Rocky" in these parts. I believe I missed Tony's Happiest years as a Family Man and it hurts. I Wish You All the Strength and Courage to carry on His admirable legacy. Tony lives on through you all,and may I offer my earnest condolences to the entire family. I will always remember Tony and the positive impact he made on all he met and knew, an endearing life worthy of the Lord.

Janice,
I was sorry to hear about Tony's passing.
He played on my "Alibrandi's" basketball
team for 25 years and hardly ever missed a game. He was one of my best players.
He was a great guy and will always be
remembered as a friend to all who knew
him.

I would like to extend my sympathy to the Marinello family. I grew up with Tony as a kid and went to school with him. He was always a class act. We called him
"Tough Tony" he was big and strong and had a heart of gold. I guess God needed a really good man upstairs. He will be missed.

To the Marinello family,

I am so sorry for your loss. In addition to the wonderful aspects of his personality and friendship that so many have mentioned, please know that Tony was also a trusted colleague and fine staff member, a calm presence and excellent team mate. I first hired him into City Hall at EDIC and am pleased that he had continued to be of service to the public, while maintaining his kind spirit.

To the Marinello Family,
I am so very sorry for your loss. I worked with Tony in his BLDC capacity on a homebuyer financial assistance program through the City of Boston. He was one of the nicest, most sincere, helpful and down to earth people with whom I've ever had the pleasure to work. He personified the word "gentleman." I wish you peace and comfort to help you cope with this tremendous loss.

To Tony's family: my husband and I grew up in Somerville. I lived near Tony (a street over)and knew him thru the years & he was a good friend in high school. My husband knew him thru sports and socializing with our many friends back in the 70's. We knew and loved him as "fudgie" a fav. nickname of his. He was a class act. We may have lost touch while raising our families but we will never forget the wonderful person he was....will always remember that handsome guy and great smile. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Mo - I just heard about Tony and wish I was in Mass. so I could help you. I think of you often, even though we lost touch. I remember Tony well - remember he signed a legal document for me? I had to go to the City and find "the Italian lookin' guy" . And he was. You forgot the word "handsome". I hope my dad is showing Tony the ropes and pouring him a glass of Scotch right now. Peace to you and the kids. Love You-Anne Baumgardner

I can only tell you the man I admired most in my life was my Dad (who we lost 26 years ago) and I can honestly tell you Tony always reminded me of him constantly smiling, kind, humble, generous, loyal, a loving Dad and Husband and always the greatest of friends. He was and always will be the greatest example of a true Gentleman in our hearts and minds. We were all blessed to have him in our lives and to call him friend and in many ways a brother. We are so sorry for your loss. Please know we will never forget him and he will always be with you in the people you know and some you don't because he honestly made us all better by the kind of example he set, he truly touched us all!!!
