Tony was easy to like and generous with his smile and his positive thoughts and words. He would always flirt with my girlfriend when we went in to the restaurant and she was delighted by his attention. I will miss him, as many others will. R.I.P. Tony.

Our hearts go out to you guys, I didn't really know Tony for a long time. For the couple of years that I did know him, I do know he was a great father, grandfather and I'm sure a great husband. The best thing, he could put a smile on your face with his humor. He will be greatly missed. Prayers your way!!

Our deepest sympathies go out to his family. My Uncle Tony was one of the best uncles anyone would desire to have, he will be greatly missed. My Uncle Tony greeted me and everyone with his big beautiful smile, and for me, he would always say " you sure look like your daddy " as he gave me a big hug. God blessed us with my Uncle Tony for a time here on earth and will continue to bless us with our memories of him. Love James, Bonita and Jon Mathis

My mother, Theresa Caruso, introduced me to Tony the first time we went to his restaurant. They knew each other from the Ybor neighborhood. Tony was always so warm and inviting to us. He would sit with us and visit with my mom who loved talking with him about their common experiences and friends. My mom is gone and I am grateful that I had those interactions with Tony. My thoughts are with you.

LARRY, JOE, MIKE

For 18 years I have dined almost every workday at your wonderful restaurant and was greeted with a smile and "There's my main man" from Tony every day.
I was lucky to know Loner and sense the love and caring between them. I know that Tony is now with Loner and happier than he has been since she left him.
I will miss that smile and the twinkle in his eye, but I also know that Larry will continue the tradition of Tony's Restaurant and it will always be the welcome spot in my day.
