I am so sorry that l just received the news of Tony's passing. He was a dear family friend who you could count on for comfort, support and advice. My condolences to the Rappa family who will always be dear to me. Tony can never be replaced but the fond memories of him and my father are close to my heart. Tony was one of a kind and very special. Much love to the Rappa family.

I met Tony shortly after my own father passed. Tony filled a great void in my life. He is a gentleman, a friend, a surrogate Dad, a singing mentor, a great singer himself and one of the best dancers I will ever know. I love you, Sir with all the love there is. You made a tremendous difference in my life. I love you forever. Peace and love to you and your family. I miss you but, I know I will sing with you again. Thank you for loving me like a son!! Dan

Anthony was already in his eighties when my wife and I first heard him sing, and until now we didn't know about his long-time avocation as a pilot. But we knew immediately that he was an extraordinary singer. At eighty-eight he could still deliver an artistically challenging song in a manner that would have done honor to Tony Bennett in his prime. Yet he was always generous in praising our passable singing efforts. We missed his singing during this COVID crisis and were hoping to see and hear him again when karaoke came back. That won't happen now, but we will always remember his voice and his congeniality. Our deep condolences to his family.
