Tony Robert Luccketta, Sr.

I remember Tony as a handsome young man with wavy blonde hair. I jammed with him a few times and I admired the fact that he could sing and play guitar at the same time a skill I never mastered. The last time I saw him he was playing music at a pizza restaurant and despite the venue he gave a great performance. He always greeted me with a smile, handshake and he was ever pleasant. Always the gentleman. I will always have fond memories of him. Thank you Tony for bringing light and laughter into my life.

Tina, Pam and family: My deepest sympathy to you at this time of sorrow, but I know that Tony is in God's care now and what better care could we ever ask for him. Now I pray for your comfort in the days ahead. God bless you, your Mother, Tony's family and your family and God keep all of you in His tender care and love for all eternity. I wish that I could have kept in better contact with Tony but being in the military, I was always deployed and gone for over 23 years. It does not mean that all of you, all my friends that I grew up with have not been in my thoughts and prayers every day. I tried to get in contact with Tony but didn't know he lived in Terra Bella. I always thought he was still living in Porterville. Tony was not just a friend of mine but a brother as well growing up in Porterville. I will always remember the music that we played and him giving me the opportunity to play drums in his band. It seems like it was just yesterday. Time goes by just so fast. Please tell your Mother that I am so sorry for her loss and tell her that I have missed her over the years. She was always so nice to me and made me feel like I was one of her own sons. God bless you and your family. I will be praying for all of you.

Tony was a beautiful man inside and out. Everyone that knew him loved him. He was kind, generous and unselfish. I met Tony when I was in 8th grade, he was a Freshman. All the Angels in heaven are lucky to have him and enjoy his love and his wonderful voice. May God keep you safe Tony, next to Him. We are all very Blessed to have known him.

My heart has been with you ,Tina, since Duane phoned of your brother's passing. My loving,caring thoughts and prayers will be with you tomorrow as you pay tribute and say farewells to Tony. My sincere sympathy to your Mom and siblings as well as you and Duane at this time of loss. May strength and comfort be given to all in these difficult days.

I knew Tony just out of high school. What a great looking guy. All the girls thought so. We used to listen to his band in the garage. It was so much fun. Haven't seen him in years but think of him often. My condolences to the family. May God bless you.
