Anthony was always so kind to me and my cousins. He let us stop in the office on E Delevan while my grandmother, Frances Parrino, worked there. As years went by, at any funeral we attended, he would make a point of coming over to say hello. Daniel and Molly were great friends of my grandparents, John and Frances. We considered him a "cousin " and will definitely be missed.

I met him quite a few times in my life. He always impressed me how friendly he was. I was working at the Buffalo crematory when he came in with Joe Dispenza, who introduced Him to me I said I know, Mr. Amigone, And he said how I said, my aunt Lorette. He turned around and said to Joe oh my God this man´s family, which made me happy aunt Lorette was actually my mother`s aunt and I guess she Took care of them when they were growing up. The world has lost a great man rest in peace, Mr. Amigone

My condolences to the family, Anthony Sr. was so good to my mother, she use to bring groups in to a program you had years ago. He tried to take her home came to the hospital to pick up my dad she would not let him. Her name was Leona Shisler. Thank you for all you do!

Anthony Amigone was a "Forever Innovator and Influencer"! He took the last remembrance of a loved one, usually in some low-light musty funeral home which all too often was a highly forgettable experience to a well-lit and highly inviting home of pleasant and caring people whose whole goal was to serve the family with smiles, empathy, and accommodation.
Everything was designed with great detail to create comfort, love, and dignity for the deceased family and friends. "Easing a difficult time" was a mantra provided for all.
As a giant in the industry, he revolutionized how a service should be conducted, how the officiants and his attending directors should meticulously dress, and how the family should not be the first to the casket at the conclusion of the service, but the last, in order to appropriately and lastingly say their final goodbyes.
Class, decorum, sincerity, and excellence. That was Anthony Amigone. He was my role model, my teacher, and a friend.
He will be greatly missed by all. My prayers go out to his wonderful family, and especially Anthony Jr. and Vincent as they continue their rich tradition of serving and helping others with caring and class and leading lengthy funeral processions in their signature vehicles of Amigone Blue.
Blessings to the Family and Team

We moved into our home on the lake in 1978, a few months before Anthony and Marjorie purchased their summer home a couple of doors away from us. We are both very grateful to have had the opportunity to develop a genuine friendship with Anthony. Getting to know Marjorie and being able to watch Danielle grow up will also remain some of our fondest memories.
With sincere condolences,
Ted and Pattie Mitchinson

It was always a pleasure to see Anthony. He had a smile on his face and a good word for all. Anthony was a gentleman. My thoughts are with you.

My memory of Mr. Amigone is when he spoke about my father at the cemetery in 1978. He was so kind and spoke so fondly about my dad it made me cry. I've never forgotten that and how much it was appreciated. He was a wonderful man and will be greatly missed.

Dear Anthony, Vincent and the entire Amigone family,
On behalf of the Belle family, our deepest condolences. We have a rich history with memories of our Dads' having grown up together. Your Dad was a part of our family's life milestones, both happy and sad. He was a legend in his own right and more importantly, a good friend.
No matter the circumstances we are never prepared for this loss, however I am certain his love and fond memories will lift your hearts.
Sincerely,
Mary E. Belle
