Barb & Family,
I have so many fond memories of Tony. You guys were our first neighbors after we got married and Tony was like having a Dad right next door. He always asked how I was and was always so interested in my family and the kids. He would ask for every family members phone number then he would write it on his index card and put it in his shirt pocket. Vince always enjoyed having a beer in the Summer with him over the fence and he would always say to Vince,"whatever you need kid..you know it's in the garage" and it sure was. His garage was like shopping at Home Depot but much neater..I will cherish those memories forever. Please know that I am keeping you and your family in my prayers!!

He was the only Father I knew. I loved how he would ask people there name and write it on an index card and than file it in his shirt pocket. And where ever he went he took candy with him and that is how people would remember Mr. Zinni as the man who knew there name and would bring them something sweet to remember him by. I love you Dad, you were always there for Jack and I.
Love your daughter-in-law Marie~
