I will never forget Buppy. Holly's grandfather would often tell us young, silly college girls about the many perils, and joys too, that we might encounter in life. He would carefully explain the oil change process, how to organize our pantries when we would have families of our own, and how to get a good night's rest (wear a warm night cap on your head to keep the warmth in and have someone you love right next to you).

I will never forget him and we are so blessed to have known him.

Buppy will be forever missed indeed.

I am sorry that I never met Anthony. From what everyone has said at the memorial I am sure that we would have been friends.

I can also attest to the warmth that Tony showed towards his friends, family & people he just met. That's the first thing I recall when I think of Tony, is his warmth. He made Mike & I feel so welcome the very first time we visited his & Donna's home. I felt like I'd known him for years! He always had an interesting story or two as well!



We envied his vivaciousness & feel blessed to have known such a kind & generous person.

In sympathy and prayers, I worked with Tony starting in 1960 until he retired from Buhrke Ind.

"Imaginative man of tinkering and invention" that is exactly how I will remember Mr. D'Amico. Toni has shared so many loving stories of her dad expressing the truly exceptional person he was.



One of my fondest memories is during the holidays and I was invited to dinner and was accepted as one of the family. And, how much fun Mr. D'Amico was playing the game Taboo.



Mr. D'Amico will be missed.
