I did talk to Carol a couple of years ago when we were both in Fla. We always exchanged cards and even visited each other when we first got married.I miss that.I hope to hear from you. Take care.

Our most sincere condolences for your loss. Tony was the very best of skippers and bosses. I had the distinct honor of serving under his command at Commander And Chief Atlantic Fleet. There was no better shipmate, mentor and leader. I was deeply saddened by his loss. Our family's prayers and best wishes are with you and yours

Our hearts and prayers are with each of the family!We worked for Colucci & he helped us out when we were sick and we have lots of respect for him. He always called my husband "senator john warner" because his name is john warner to joke around. But, he would also do his job! Good man! I know he will be missed,but I;m sure he is in a much better place.

Dear Linda,
I am saddened to hear of Tony's passing. We served together at COMCRUDESGRU EIGHT during the 1985-1986 Saratoga BG deployment. Tony was a great officer to serve under and I have fond remembrances of our time together. May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

I met Tony a year ago while interning at GE. Actually Tony was the one who gave me the internship. Although I only knew Tony for a few months, like many on here have said, he made a huge impact on my life. His positive attitude, professional work ethic, humor, and the ability to relate with anyone will always stick out to me. AS for his humor, he called me Johnnie Walker, eventhough I told him I prefered Jonathan. He said it would be a waste of a great name. Although I know it is incredibly difficult for his family and friends, I guess we can all find some comfort knowing what a huge impact he made on so many lives. Although it was short lived, I am thankful that I was able to meet Tony and my thoughts and prayers are with your family.

I was shocked and saddened to hear of Tony's passing. I remember fondly his powerful presence...he was tough, yet he had a way of conveying just the right amount of humor when warranted. He also brought his military expertise to bear wisely on his role as HR leader at GE, and it was appreciated and respected. My deepest sympathies to his family and his friends.

To Tony's family and friends.
We met Tony a few years ago through mutual friends (the Tubaughs). Even though we did not know him very well, we really enjoyed the time we spent with him and Linda. He was truly a very profound and positive person that we will always remember. It was apparent that he enjoyed life and the people around him. We feel very lucky to have spent time with Tony and Linda and share the grief of his family and friends. Our thoughts and prayers are with you even though we cannot be there.

To Tony's family and co-workers.
Tony loss is felt by everyone, clearly he was very impactful on the lives of many. He combined his Navy training and industrial experience to be a very effective HR Professional. The world is a little less vibrant without his presence.
