Anthony Vincent Parisi

I just came across Tony's obit.I went to the Prep with him.I lost track after he started Penn State.We shot pool on my table and then on his table many times.Beatles vs Stones-Tony was the biggest Beatle fan and I was for the Stones.Those were the days-great memories.

I found this posting a few days ago. I am so sorry we never reconnected after high school. We were best buds all through grade and high school. I would have enjoyed meeting your wife and children and sharing old memories. There were sure a lot of them. Rest in peace old friend...

We have been neighbor's of Tony's for the last 10 years.
He always said "hi" or waved whenever we were both in our front yards. His yard was always meticulously cared for by him. Whether he was cutting the grass, weeding his beautiful flower beds or pruning a tree, he seemed to be enjoying the task at hand. This past spring Tony offered to share his beautiful peony blooms with me. I guess he had taken notice how I anxiously awaited mine to bloom(his always bloomed first.) So next spring when the peonies bloom, I'll think of Tony and whisper a little thank you for a good neighbor who used to share his blooms with me. He will be missed in the neighborhood.

My favorite memories of Uncle Tony are every time I saw him or spoke to him. They are all my favorite because he is the Best. Check out this great shot from the past summer. It meant the world to me to see Uncle Tony.

What a handsome young man.

Uncle Tony was a constant presence in my life, always offering encouragement, blessings and a little ribbing too. So much fun to play pool with him and hear the story of how he schemed to get the pool table that we all loved in the basement of Grandmom and Grandpops house. I will miss him very much.

Longest, hottest day in Phillie's history. Uncle Tony went to find us water, which was scarce, so we would all not pass out.

I´ll remember thanksgiving dinner at Tony´s - chicken pot pie and all the other goodies he cooked up. I´ll think of the Parisis every time I eat a chicken pot pie! He raised some wonderful children.

Tony, T-Bone, will be missed dearly. I feel grateful for all the memories I shared with him. All my love to the Parisi family.
