Just a quick funny story when I was a bartender at The Olde Town, on Halloween night the whole crew was just hanging around and not getting much done, this person comes up dressed as a little old lady, asks us what were doing and why is nothing getting done, we explained that Dawn forgot her keys and we couldnt stock the bar and the bouncers we not at the door. Well the little old lady handed us a set of keys and told us all to get back to work, that little old lady was Tony. As I said before he will always be remembered, RIP my friend.

Dear Nancy, Anthony and I just found out about Tonys passing. We have often thought of you both. It took a braciole recipe for me to finally look you up. I was so saddened to find Tonys obituary... Not the way I was hoping to re-connect! Tonys amazing spirit will have an impact on my husbands life forever! I know that Tony is forever in the arms of Jesus! Sincere condolences, Anthony and Michele Kwiatek Ft laud Fl

So sad to hear the news of Tony's passing. Joe and I spent many many nights at Websters before we had kids, and Tony and Nancy came to feel like family to us. We also celebrated lots of important life events in the back room of the restaurant...special birthdays, big family dinners, funeral 'send offs' for our loved ones. It was far more than a restaurant to us...Tony always made certain of that. He was a wonderful man, husband , father, grandfather and friend. He will be missed. We send our love to Nancy and the family.
