My deepest sympathy on your loss. Tony was a great co-worker. From the money he found and the bricks he collected on walks,there was always a story behind it. Including his car that made the magazines and his musician brother, he was so proud. Not so long ago he told me, " I am a lucky man to have such a good life, I got to travel, I have a wonderful wife and a great family, and if I leave here tomorrow I know my life was full. What a wondeful legacy.

We cannot express what a special man Tony was to Dave and I. He was obviously a wonderful father, husband and friend. Truly one of the best. We are so glad we got to see him twice this year before he passed. We keep the Melasecca family in our thoughts and in our hearts.
