Tony was a great teacher and coach. I worked at the high school with Tony and Rita for 10 years. I have so much respect for the Cipriano family and their impact at Souderton. Sending prayers.

Tony and Darryl were fellow football players at Kutztoen University, fellow coaches and teachers at Souderton Area High School for approximately 40 years and fellow hunters over the years. Our families had many happy memories together at football events, holiday gatherings and summer activities.
Old friends remain in our memories forever.
