I think of Tony often . I was a waitress at Satin Dolls . I was brought in by Jimmy Dicapo . I was there a couple years . That time was so crazy but made me strong for sure . Tony was fun and I enjoyed working for him . I'm glad I knew him . He knew my husband Joe Gicinto and he died so I think of Christina and Anthony often . It's hard . I hope Tony's family is well . He was a self proclaimed Mama's boy . Spoke very highly

You have been on my mind... it´s been a little over 14 years since we lost that BIG smile! I think of you a lot & remember you daily when I see my dining room set that you so graciously bought me! You were the most giving & had the biggest heart! Love you Tone!! Praying for your momma too, I know she misses & loves her baby boy more than anything!

May eternal rest be granted unto him o Lord and may perpetual light shine upon him and the souls of the faithful departed. Through the mercy of God. Amen

Happy Birthday! Today you would have been 35 years old. How much you are missed and how sad the days are knowing you are not in the world. I love you. Mom

Son, it has been almost six months, six of the saddest in my life. I still have trouble every Saturday morning and I don't think that will ever change. I love you, we all love you and just hope wherever you are you know that. I found your Myspace account this past week and it had a new picture of you. How could anyone kill someone as beautiful as you, I will never understand. So much I want to tell you and I would give the world if only I could see you and hold you in my arms once again and hear you say, "I love you Haze." I am sure you are with your brother and that you were welcomed in to the arms of heaven and that you are making everyone in heaven laugh the way you made all of us laugh here. Love forever. Mom

Four weeks ago this morning you were taken from us. I try to find God's hand in your senseless death but have been unable to. God is not cruel and your death is marked with cruelness. I pray that if your spirit is restless and there is anything you need from me you will give me a sign that I may know how to help you so that you can have peace, I know you are near me, can sense your presence in the dark. I only pray that you find peace and are with those who have gone before you who loved you. I know your brother, Ben, greeted you with love and that you will be as wonderful in Heaven as you were here on earth. So many people loved you, still love you and will continue to love you for all of their days. I love you, my youngest son, my beautiful child, my happy, joyous boy. I love you. Mom (Haze)

It was three weeks ago today that the world stopped turning, the sun's light dimmed and the scream in my heart began. Each day is more amazing than the one before, how can things go on as though the pain in our hearts has been silenced? Hope is all we live on, even if we believe it is much more. Things like money and food only feed our bodies and buy the things that keep us from the elements. It is hope that feeds our spirits like faith feeds our souls. I pray you have gone on to join those who went before you and who loved you so very much. I can only imagine the joy you brought them when you appeared in heaven. The joy we had in your presence has been replaced with sadness and my only hope lies in the belief that one day we will be together again and all will be as it should be. You deserved so much more or maybe it is the ones you left behind who feel that way. I look for signs of you every where, every noise, every dream. At times you seem so near and then I wake to find you are no more and I am enveloped in sadness that is profound. My son, my youngest child, most beautiful of all children, born of love and selfishness. I love you Tony, you will always live in my heart. Haze (Mom)

I continue to pray everyday for God to heal your pain. I didn't know Tony as well as I would of liked, his sister Lisa is my dearest best friend and the time we spent with Tony is unforgettable. He made me laugh harder than anyone I have ever known. He was such a delight and great person. You will be missed Tony! Love you all!

Everyday I come and here and read your obituary, I know it will still be there yet, I suppose I am hoping it won't be there, that it will be a mistake. Every memory of you is emblazoned in my mind and heart, you were bigger than life, so full of light, with a smile that lit the world. Just knowing you were in the world made my world enough, you meant everything to me. No child could have been loved more Tony, you were the most special, from the moment of your birth you were all I needed, all I lived for. I cannot believe the light has been extinguished. You were my youngest son and dearly loved. Haze

Louis,
I am very sorry to hear of the loss of Tony. To lose anyone is hard but for a parent to burry their child must be especially difficult. Our thoughts are with you during this time.

None of us are asked to be brought into this world nor do we choose the time and place to leave. All that remains is the way we lived, laughed, and loved. Tony did all of those things full force.

So sorry to hear of Tony's death. I was the sec'y at St. Agnes where he attended school. One day when he came back from lunch, he stopped into the office and gave me 2 roses. He said he thought I was having a bad day (and I was). He was always so very thoughtful. My condolences to both families.
