Still miss Tony, and so sad to see Stefano's demolished. Tony made the BEST gelato! He was a terrific person and a wonderful coworker to me at LVHN.

I am very saddened by this news. My family frequented Stefanos many times over the years and Tony became more then just a business owner
but a friend. He always went out of his way to accommodate my family even on last minutes notice. He always welcomed us with a warm greeting.
He will be missed but never forgotten. My deepest condolences to the Lombardo family in this difficult time ! Rest in peace my friend !

Steve, Pat & Dom,
I'm so very sorry for your loss. When I was attempting to work with Tony he was always very confident and professional...a tough cookie. When I was a customer, he was always kind, courteous and fun. I respected him very much. May he rest in peace!

Dearest Lombardo Family: We are so grieved to learn of Tony's untimely passing. We can not ever even imagine the loss you are feeling. This tragic loss of a affable Tony snuffed so young is insurmountable, and we were shocked to learn when we returned to the Lehigh Valley from out of state this week. We are grieved we were unable to attend the services. Tony was always a friendly, caring young man, and we spoke with him not that long ago at Stefano's, when he readily offered to donate meals to a charity we are associated with for hospice house meals. Tony is now in heaven, higher than the angels there, and even knowing that, we know you lament his loss, and we promise to grieve and mourn with you all.
Very, very sadly,
Bob Agentis and Tina Cantelmi Agentis

Deepest sympathy to the family. When a loved one dies we feel so helpless. But draw closer to Our Creator. Pour out your heart to him in prayer because he feels for you in your pain and he cares for you. 1Peter5:7

Please accept our kind condolences.
Having found Stefano's almost twenty five years ago, Stefano's always felt like home. Tony played a big role maintaining that relationship. We could always count on him to manage dinner during dance recitals for our girls, arrange impromptu birthday parties, and of course while maintaining a great relaxed atmosphere that Stefano's is known for. He made it easy for us to keep Stefano's as our favorite place to go.
Tony alway had a smile and kind words. He always stopped by to say hello and we always felt taken care of. Tony was a friend and will be very missed.
Tony will be our prayers and thoughts.

My family and I have been customers at Stefano's for years and had the great pleasure of chatting with Tony many times.
Five years ago, my father was hospitalized with a life-threatening illness right before Christmas, but, happily, was discharged at dinnertime on Xmas Eve. Because we didn't know what was going to happen with my dad, we had canceled most holiday food orders and had given away the rest of the special treats, which meant we didn't have any food for Xmas Eve.
We called Stefano's, but there was no take out service that night until Tony got involved. I am still humbled with gratitude that Tony's kindness allowed my very sick dad to have something special that he could eat and the rest of our family could enjoy a delicious dinner with him. We had a quiet, but profoundly important Christmas Eve that year.
While I had the opportunity to thank Tony many times for his generosity and true Xmas spirit, I wanted to let his loved ones know that sometimes, the smallest acts of kindness have the largest and longest-lasting impact.
It seems to me that Tony must have known that and I will remember him with gratitude.
I am so very sorry.

Dear Stephano and Patty,
We are so very very saddened by the news about Tony. We are regulars at Stephanos and Tony would greet us in a personal welcoming way and take us to "our" table then tell us about the specials if he thought one was particularly tasty. We will certainly miss him.Please accept our most sincere condolences on your great loss. You are in our prayers.

So sorry for this tragic loss. I'm still in a state of disbelief.
I worked with Tony at LVHN and remember him as a site tech, and later as a network analyst. He was one of the nicest people in our department. He also helped my husband and me plan our son's college graduation party at the restaurant. Tony had a gift for making others feel special. Every time we'd stop for dinner at the restaurant, I'd be sure to save room for his hazelnut gelato. I'm hopelessly addicted to it.
I am so sad for the heartache you must have at this time. We will miss seeing Tony at the restaurant. It just won't be the same.
