May God bless the Tedesco family. I met Carmen thru John and Monica Dancu here in Florida. The minute you met Carmen you could not help but love him. A truly genuine person and a character that always found a way to make the whole group laugh.
I consider myself blessed to have known him and he will truly be missed.

Having just returned from attending the funeral service for this man I called brother but in reality few brothers share the bond and friendship he and I shared since we were kids running around Keystone Raceway Park together.

I want to extend my thank you to the Tedesco family for their kindness at such a sad time while I was there to pay my last respects. Michael, Frank, Eda, Uncle Bobby and extended family it is my fervent prayer that the Lord will send the Holy Spirit to be with you at this time and that he will remain with all of you forever.

As has been said hundreds of times here and in person this past week Carmen was one of a kind and someone that I was proud to call my friend.

He was kind, compassionate, caring and what I saw at the services were two things that personified him. I saw energy and love and that was him full of energy and always willing to help in any way he could.

One of the best people the Lord could've given me as a friend and he changed my life forever because of his friendship and now it is again changed forever with his untimely departure.

My brother Carmen you will remain in my heart until it is my time to go home and your friendship enriched my life abundantly.

Sincerest Condolences to the Tedesco family.

I was blessed to meet Carmen through my job at Fixed Right Automotive. I was nervous around him when we first met five years ago, but he treated me with such genuine kindness and respect that we quickly became friends. He looked out for me, he encouraged me, he inspired me. I wish i could have know him better, and for much longer, but his spirit will remain with me. Rest in Peace, Big Ragu - you will never be forgotten.

Deepest sympathies to the whole Tedesco family. Carmen was such a tender-hearted soul, and he's left all of us with such cherished memories of times gone by. One could never have met Carmen without him leaving a lasting impression on them, as he always made the time, effort, and took interest to make others feel important in this life. Gone before his time, but talking drag-racing now with Harvey and Joe Casertano. May the love of cherished memories comfort the family at this time.

Our deepest sympathy to Tedesco and Santavicca families. We were so shocked to hear this news. Carmen was not only our customer, but a dear friend we grew to love. A kind and generous guy. He shared his Mother's spaghetti sauce reciepe with me. Once he bought us some of his wonderful meat balls. They were better than Pasqulino's. Carmen will be deeply missed. My the Lord comfort us all and Carmen my dear....Rest in peace till we meet again.

To the family and friends of Carmen Tedesco.
My prayers and thoughts are with all at this time of sorrow.
Knowing him since junior high, way back in the 60's, and the memories that bring back laughter and many good times, I am saddened by his loss.
Over the years we remained friends and continued to share the good memories on occasion. These treasures will forever bring a smile.
What a great guy Carmen was. His heart was out there for those who needed his help and helped many on several occasions.
His passion for racing has no doubt inspired many. His passion for racing has left behind many great memories. His passion for racing will forever be embedded at the racetrack and to those who loved it as he did.
There were warm, cheerful, funny, and sometimes sad conversations that we shared and he always had the time to talk with an old friend. For that I am grateful.
May Carmen Rest in Peace and may the memories last forever.
I will miss him.

I was so shocked to see this. Carmen was a big part of my young life as my manager at Rudy's in the 1970's. I was part of helping to get Dileos bar and restaurant going. We became great friends and no matter how much time went by, years passed and I would pick up the phone to call him. We talked as if we were still in those times. Rest in peace my dear friend
