Dear Mrs. Vallone & Family - I knew Tony as a passing acquaintance through a mutual friend - the late David Lobdell. My fondest memories of Tony include a trip to NYC to hear some audio gear - he was quite the audiophile, and attending Mahler concerts with he and Dave.

He was always very funny and friendly, I celebrate and salute the joy he brought to many.

My prayers are with you.

Dear Barbara,
Please accept my deepest condolences for your loss. In addition to being a superb doctor, I always remember Dr. Vallone as the consummate jazz affecianado from my days at St. Vincent's OR (1975-1979), and your many jaunts to the 'Village' together! My prayers are with you during this difficult time.

Dear Mrs Vallone and Family,

We were very sad to hear of Dr Vallone's passing. He was a wonderful doctor and always made us laugh. His telling us to take 2 weeks off and go to Maui always made our work days seem lighter. We will miss him greatly.

Dear Barb and Laura, I am sending my deepest condolences to you, and to the rest of Tony's family and friends. He will always be remembered as a real class act, and a truly remarkable human being! I had the honor of working side by side with him for many years at St. V's . I will treasure the memories of many shared laughs with a person that loved his family, his food, and life ! I will pray for God's peace and comfort to keep you through this very sad time of your lives. Nancy Gentili, surg.tech.

I am so sorry to hear about Dr. Vallone He was a great man and a great doctor. I was his nurse for a few years at CHP and he was the best MD I ever worked with!!!! He loved his family so much. Whenever I would go in to his office he talked about Barbara and Laura(with Frankie playin in the background) The last I saw him was right before Laura's wedding.That's all he talked about! SO Proud!!! He is resting peacefully and is now the best guardian angel anyone can have!!!
