Tony....I was grateful for our friendship..you were so nice and friendly to me everytime my girls and I visited your pizzeria...I had not seen you in months, but this past month, my girls and I saw you four times...there was a reason for that Tony...everytime I saw you, you were always smiling and happy...it truly was our pleasure to know you. My daughter took your passing hard..I think because it was such a shock to all of us..I saw you only a few days before, you were sitting at the table talking, and when I walked in, as usual you were always so pleasant..I saw a twinkle in your eyes that day, that I mentioned it to my daughter, how cute you looked...Tony, all I really want to say is thank you for the opportunity for knowing you, and you will always be remembered every time we pass Triboro...

Love...

Rosey, Anabelle and Jesse Sanzari

Totally shocked and saddened by Tony's sudden passing. I had just seen him in past week when stopping by for a sandwich and we had talked like we usually did about life and family...Having known Tony since our early teens, we usually could bring up a good old story and laugh about that...I am glad to have had the opportunity to call you friend for all these years and will miss you my dear friend...may you rest in peace Tony, God Bless You and my sincere condolences to your family.

I am so sorry to hear that Tony is no longer with us, It was definitely a shock to me. Tony was a neighbor of mine. On many of my walks, I would always see him working on one of his cars or a friend's. Many times I would stop and chat for awhile and we would discuss cars. He also made great pizza.

I will miss him. He was always cheerful. To Tony I say, "May God place you under his wing to protect and love you".

Peace-Mark Hanis
