When I was 12, you were a major part of my life. I am so sorry Anthony, I love you. I am even sorrier to know that your private suffering was greater than anyone could ever have guessed. I want you know in the afterlife that the differences you made while on earth were and are tremendous. You really couldn't have been a more incredible young man and individual. Handsome, kind, funny, intelligent, and yes sooo very talented and spirited. I wish you the best in the afterlife, and know that you, the little baby boy angel wrapped in blue, the little Italian stallion grandma loved and adored and grandpa doted over, will be watching over us from heaven for all of eternity. You were born perfect. You will be missed AND remembered forever. aunt Teresa.

Tony and I started OSU at the same time and our cubicles were next to each other for a short time, we would always laugh and joke around. I have been gone from OSU for a few years . I heard of his passing from prior coworkers, I have such a heavy heart to hear of this news. He was such a nice guy. Please accept my deepest condolences. I am praying for strength and comfort for his family at this time.

This is such a shock to the OSU family as I am sure it was to your own. I've talked with Tony so many times about work and his family, I never would have guessed that he was suffering. He was such a pleasant, talented analyst who was always willing to help. Nobody can replace him. Take comfort in knowing he is at peace and now watching over you. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers, ( in memory of Tony- Go Bucks!)
