A few years back, he walked in like he always did at 6 a.m. Ordering coffee and a breakfast sandwhich and talking about last nights game. waiting for his boss and fellow crew to come to work. Only this day was different, nobody came. More coffee, talking to customers was his thing. At 10 o'clock, after 3,4,5 pots of coffee he said, "Pete, give me another one." Tony, I said, "your flagged!" We both cracked up. He always joked that he was the only person flagged from Little Pete's. Im gonna miss you...Pete

To Cheryl and family,

My sincerest condolences to you for your loss. Even though we went to high school together, and graduated together, I never really knew Tony until working with him at the Nutty. He was one of the nicest people I've ever met. He was a genuine, sincere person, who just loved life. He will be missed by all who knew him. God Bless.

Cheryl, Tonianne, and Michelle,

My heart has been with you guys thru this hard time. I have been asking Denise and Steph alot about your family, and I know the 3 of you have been thru alot, and I want the 3 of you to know that he is in a good place, and isn't suffering anymore. No more pain for your loved one. I recently 2 years ago, lost the closest person to me in the whole world from cancer, my Aunt. The pain was there for awile, and it wont go away, but everytime I were to get sad and cry, I turned my tears into a laugh and a happy memory, so please try and do the same thing. Don't think about the pain and the hurt, but rather turn your memories into happy ones.... Always hold onto the good memories, and try and forget the bad.

I love you guys,

DIane

To Anthonys family, I am very sorry for your loss. I knew Anthony as a little boy in Bridesburg. My sister Colleen and him went to school together. My sister Colleen died in a car accident in 1989. I am sure they are reminiscing about growing up in Bridesburg and All Saints. May God bless you, and keep you at this difficult time. Susan Callahan Lavin and family

Cheryl and Family,

We are so sorry for your loss. Tony was "One of a Kind". I'll always remember the time we spent on Tuesday nights trying to win a game for the Nutty. It was a true pleasure to call Tony "Our Captain".

I remember Tony when he was little hanging around with our son Bill. How could you ever forget that smile? Even as a man he had class. The last time my husband saw him he had payed the bill for him and a friend at a diner and ran out saying "you get the next one". Our prayers are with you.

Our deepest sympathy to Cheryl and the family. Words cannot express the feeling of loss we have for our friend, dart player and fellow board member. Tony never gave up, in life or in a dart match. The word quit just wasn't in Tony's vocabulary. He finally made the Board of Directors this year and it was something I know he was proud of. We were honored to know him and to call him a friend. We'll never forget our friend.
