I only learned of Tony's Passing today, and was so sorry!
I graduated with Tony in 1957 at HSHS, and remember him mostly from Biology Class, where we shared a desk.
He was the most real person I knew, just good at everything.
He will be in my prayers!

What a loving and dignified farewell to such a well respected gentleman.The true meaning of a life well lived,Tony was a sincere,giving,caring and thoughtful man.Although he was a gregarious extrovert who seemed to know "everyone" on earth he remained a very private man in his personal life.Our hearts are breaking with sadness now but are sustained by our faith we will all be reunited in heaven.

Dear Wynette, Joe, and other members of the Gusti family, What a shock it was to learn from Nick Paravati of Tony's death. He was bigger than life, and I still can't face the fact that he's gone. Tony and I were more than good friends for several decades. He was an honorable man of tremendous ability and love for family. May you, his family, and the host of people who adored him, be comforted by your beautiful memories of him and the way he loved to tease! In deepest sympathy, Mary Dell Grey
