He was a good man. A little kooky in The end but hey More kooky than James Cuda jr who keeps wanting to sell his sister's house after he stole her truck out of her driveway along with his wife Sally Cuda

My Uncle Tony was the best uncle anyone could ask for. Every weekend my uncle welcomed me into his home and made me a part of his family. He took me everywhere with Lena, just as if I were a daughter to him. I have so many great childhood memories.
After attending his wake this evening I realize the best thing that he left me is to be a part of a wonderful, loving family. Thank you Uncle Tony

Love Cathie

There are so many great stories I wouldn't know where to begin. The old ways and the old days are but fond memories that can only be looked back upon with laughter and tears.

Uncle Tony was one of my "original" Italian uncles whom I shall always have the utmost love, honor and respect for... and will miss forever. As my mother used to say "I'll see ya when I see ya" Rest in peace Uncle Tony rest in peace.

Love always,
Joe, Linda and Nova

What could I say but You and your family were, and still are a big part of my life. I will always remember sitting in your dining room drinking coffee and being able to taste the annisette you would put in it for us. We so enjoyed going to your home and having macaroni and gravy.Those are the memories I will forever cherish. The fun and wonderful childhood we shared with you and your family. You are now home with Auntie Ann and your parents and sisters and brothers. You are at peace. We love you Uncle Tony Rest in Peace Love Debbie and Sonny
