Tony was a special friend to me and a Theta Chi fraternity brother. We shared many memorable and fun times together. In the early 70s I ran for Theta Chi fraternity president against Tony and he beat me. Seeing that the loss upset me, Tony offered to not accept the position and let me remain as president. I refused of course. That was the kind of guy Tony was, more interested in my feelings than his own. Thanks for the memories Tony and being a great friend. Your friend, fraternity brother and brother in Christ.

God Bless Tony Capozzii. As his fraternity brother at the university of Akron he wasn't just Tony but always Tony Capozzi. I don't know why we were just crazy back then. I will NEVER forget our trip to Ft. Laderdale in 1975-76. Tony made sure we had plenty to eat when all we cared about was plenty to drink. He went to the store after he collected money from us and came back with 100 chicken pot pies...so funny. I tell the story to this day ! What a great brother and friend. What a caring heart way back in college and clearly all through his life. Rest In Peace brother .... "willie wilson"
