Cathy and Wayne, please know you have our deepest sympathies. Tony was always smiling and laughing and a man of many jokes. He will have them laughing in heaven for sure. Rest in Peace "Big Tony".

MY deepest sympathy. Tony was such a nice gentle man I met at Butler Auto Auction, this is very sad. My sympathy to the Castriota family.

I bought a lot of cars from Castriota, and usually ended up in a spirited debate over price with Tony. Always cheerful, my mentor when it came to the art of negotiations, never cursed, and a great community asset. Pity that your method of selling cars has gone to the dogs. God Bless, and RIP.

I Met Tony At The Northside YMCA In The Late 60s And My Wife And I Bought Vehicles From Him. He Was Always Engaging And Full Of Energy. The Ultimate Gentleman. Rest In Peace, Sir. Maximum Respect!
