My sincere condolences to the family... My mom, who recently passed away, bought the home on Wacker Dr in 2001, from the Santo family, which I now reside in... my prayers go out that you find love and peace in this tragic time...

At Lancaster High School Tony and I played football together. I played fullback and Tony open a lot of holes in the line for us running backs. I still have the picture that was in the Lancaster Eagle Gazette of the
two sets of brothers and their Dad's that played for LHS.
