Bermuda (and his family) lost a treasure last year. Tony Bari provided special memories for me and my husband Jerry. While performing at The Reefs, he not only demonstrated his talents but managed to create memories for his audience. Our special memories included the theme song from the movie Somewhere In Time. Wherever we encountered Tony, be it at The Reefs, Four Ways Inn or other venues he played at, when he saw us he would play that song. It was especially special to me one day when I walked into Trimmingham's and I heard that wonderful music. Tony was at the piano on the second floor and saw me come into the store and began playing Somewhere In Time. You cannot imagine how special it made me feel to know that a truly talented entertainer like Tony would create a truly special memory for me. Thank you, Tony for all the wonderful memories you provided me and Jerry and to all those who had the good fortune to follow you all those years in Bermuda. Blessings to you family and friends.

Susan and Jerry Waller

What a wonderful performer Tony was, from the earliest! He kept us all laughing, too, during Saugus High School years. Tony would have been a natural for the great cruise ships and certainly must have been a great asset to Bermuda. My condolences to all of you, and may Anthony rest in peace, for all eternity.
