When we moved to Pattie Joe Lane, Anthony and Joyce were the first neighbors to welcome us to the neighborhood, and they invited us to a delicious dinner at their home. Anthony was always kind, gentle, never complained, and he was quick to smile and laugh. Anthony always took the time to pet and talk to our large rottweiler dog, referring to her as "puppy". We're going to miss Anthony's annual Christmas visits, which became a part of our Christmas tradition. And it was always obvious that Anthony loved his wife Joyce very much. We will very much miss Anthony, and we'll always remember him.

We are so sorry to lose Anthony. It was wonderful having him as a neighbor and friend. We will miss his laugh and his homemade grape jelly! Our thoughts are with you, Joyce, at this difficult time.

Dear Joyce, I can not express the deep sadness that Ellen I feel on Anthony's passing. I fondly recall the grat times we had as kids at Hudson Park,digging for clams and horsing around in the water. I especially recall the vitulli picnics at Edgewood Park, with his father barbecuing the chickens, hamburgers and especially Grandma's lamb sausage . Joyce our prayers are with you.

My sincere sympathies to Joyce and sons. Anthony was always a part of my life. We all grew up together. I especially remember when he met his wife; when we all hung out at Hudson Park. I was proud of his accomplishments and how he went out of his way to visit my Mother when she was sick. I am happy that I spoke to him just two weeks ago. Anthony I will miss you! God bless you in heaven.

Joyce as your brother I wish that I could hold you like you held me when I was a small child. Life is so cruel but we need to remember those special moments that were shared between you and Anthony. Remember I love my big sister very much. We are and will always be your brothers and sister And you family. We may be a little messed up at times but but remember God doesn't make junk. We love you. And I love you.
