Mr. P- the BEST (and biggest pain in the butt) boss ever! I worked for you for five years, but we remained friends for over 20. I'll never forget you saying to me after some tough days- "You have a friend in me". I'll miss catching up at Christmas dinners- Rebecca

Knowing him for 55+ years, Tony was "family" to us. There was never a dull moment being around him. His zest for life was admirable. His passing leaves a hole in our hearts. We treasure our friendship with Elena and have enjoyed watching his family grow...and grow up. The last time we were together, for dinner at Gene and Georgetti´s (a Chicago classics, just like Tony), Howard joked around that he would be a pallbearer at Tony´s funeral. Sadly, we are in Florida and are unable to fly up to be there. We send loving thoughts and our heartfelt condolences to the whole family.
