Anthony M. Liberta

I remember the first day he arrived at JFK as Area Director. He felt overwhelmed by what he saw but quickly adjusted and turned it around. He was an outstanding guy and a credit to U.S. Customs. My condolences to his family.

Dear Annette and family,
We are terribly sorry about your loss of Tony. In addition to his being the best boss I ever had in terms of doing the job, he also always looked out for the well-being of his employees. And it is very clear that he was a wonderful family man. Jenny and I always looked forward to our meetings in Florida and hope to eventually see you back there, perhaps with some of your grandchildren.

To the Liberta family,
I was part of a team that worked at the opposite end of the table, on the union side, during many tense bargaining sessions where Mr. Liberta was involved.
Though our goals were seemingly different, one thing that we on labor's side always felt about Mr. Liberta: he was a gentleman, fair, and true to his word. What finer thing can be said about a person.

Dear Annette,
Our condolences for your loss during this difficult time. May his memory be eternal. We will keep Anthony, you and your family in our prayers.

Mrs. Liberta and Family: Please accept my deepest sympathy and condolences. Tony and I worked for Customs and we used to ride downtown together on the Flushing 7 train to work. Please know that he was well respected and very much liked.

Dear Annette & Family,
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Praying that God will continue to be a comfort to you.

Hi, Annette,
I just found out about Tony's passing. I am so sorry for your loss. If I found out earlier I would have come to the wake. My deepest condolences to your entire family.

Beautiful photos of a beautiful family. He was a prince. Liked and respected by all.

My deepest sympathy to Mrs Liberta, sons and family. Heaven has received a wonderful soul. Tony Liberts was an outstanding man who was loved and respected by everyone who crossed his path. My prayers are with you.

CONDOLENCES TO ANNETTE AND FAMILY.

To Annette and family, our sincerest sympathies. Marie and I both worked for Tony in various capacities during his career. We enjoyed working for him as Tony set standards which encouraged all to give their best effort. He was in many ways an ideal manager who could relate to his mission and to the people who were tasked to complete it.

A great man and a gift to US Customs. Too few like him today in the agency he loved.

Dear Mrs. Liberta and Family, I was honored and blessed to have met Tony in 1991. He was a blessing in my life, if he didn't hire me I truly don't know where I would be today. And I know there are many more out there that can express the same. He defined class in the truest sense. He was a man of honor and dignity. Just know he was loved by many and truly changed many of lives for the better. May he rest in peace and may God give you and your family peace in this difficult time.

More than a great boss, we became friends after he hired me in 1973 as an intern. He was instrumental in paving the way making a career at U.S. Customs. I will always be grateful. He put the word "family" in the Customs Family. A true gentleman, may he rest in peace. My sincere condolences.

Annette and family: I cannot fully express the sadness I am experiencing at the news of Tony's passing. I have so many great memories of Tony both at the years we spent at Xavier together and afterwards. My sincere and deepest condolences to you and your family.

Mr. Liberta once informed me that I would be "his eyes and ears in the field". It was my honor to act in that role for such an honorable man. My sympathies go out to his family. He will be missed by all of us.

Dear Mrs. Liberta and Family, please accept my deepest sympathy. Tony was a true gentleman and I am deeply saddened by your loss. I will keep you all in my prayers as you go through this difficult time. Sincerely, Janet Labuda

Annette and family, my wife Sue and I offer our sincere sympathies. I considered Tony a friend, who was always willing to lend a helping hand when needed. In 2007 when our Daughter Jaime died in a tragic accident his words of sympathy were from the heart. My wife's memory is a little better than mine. She remembered Tony attending her fathers wake in Whitestone in 1982 and sharing his experience of working in a butcher shop in Whitestone when he was young .
My 27 year carreer in Customs gave me great respect and admiration for him. Our golf games were similar long and at times all over the place. It was an honor to have known him and I know he was vey proud of all of you.

Rest in Peace Mr. Liberta. I will never forget how kind & thoughtful you were to me as my brother Special Agent Pat Pacifico was dying. You were such a pillar of strength and helped me get through that terrible time. My condolances to your family.

I have such fond memories of Mr. Liberta. I will never forget the kind man that he was. My sincere condolences.

To Annette and family, my sincerest sympathies. I was shocked to hear of Tony's passing. He was a wonderful husband, father and grandfather, and a great leader and a very special person to me and all who knew him. I was honored to have served under him at Customs and will honor his memory always. I will miss him dearly. All my love...

Our deepest sympathies go out to the Liberta family. Take comfort in all the precious memories you have.

My deepest sympathy and sincerest condolence. Tony was by all measure an exceptional human being. My family and I will never forget his kindness. He will truly be missed. May God grant you comfort in this time of tremendous sorrow.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

I. Am deeply saddened by this lost- Tony was a gentle and kindhearted person to all that came in contact with him. Tony will be truly missed.

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always.

Please accept our deepest condolences; we are very saddened by the loss of Tony. His gentle soul will forever remain in our hearts.

Prayers and Blessings,
Susan & John Demelis

I am very sorry for the Liberta family's loss. For a few years I spent quite a bit of time with Mr. Liberta in mostly contentious labor/management situations. Despite our differing agendas, I always found Mr. Liberta to be the most competent professional
manager I have met. Not only did he excel at representing the U.S. Customs Service, but he went out of his way to help individual employees and all those who worked for him as a whole. He will be missed by all who knew him. May he rest in God's peace.
