First, know that I send you all my deepest sympathy for the loss of your Dad, brother, cousin and grandfather. I have so many wonderful and fun memories of Anthony, Ed and my Dad. I am very grateful for having been given the blessing of being part of their "lunch gang" each month for years. I learned so much from them - patience, faith, grace in aging and gratitude in having them all into my sixties.
Anthony will be missed by all of us; but I´m pretty sure the Three Amigos are all together again.
With warmest regards. Karen DeMaria Keagle

To the Ricci Family,
My Wife and I were very sorry to hear about your Dad´s passing. My Dad and your Dad were cousins and they did a lot of family tree research together in the 1990s. Your parents and my parents and other relatives would get together for lunch several times a year. I lost touch with Anthony after my parents passed away but was able to reconnect with him in 2015 through my Son´s Father-In-Law, John Farrell. I got together with your Dad for lunch for several years after around Xmas time through 2020. Really enjoyed spending time with him, talking about our respective families, and hearing his stories from WW2 and his engineering career.
Sincerely,
Joe and Kathy Peca
