I only met Anthony a couple of times but knew him through Michael and Gianni. He had a big heart and was always there for everyone. He will be sadly missed by many but will live on through his children and grandchildren. His passing is not "good-bye", it's "see u later". My condolences to the Colombo family.

Where do I begin. My uncle Anthony used to call me Saree not Sorita.He offered to take my sister and I to The Father and daughter dance at school when I had no Father to take me. I had an amazing time dancing with him. When I had surgery in the hospital he visited me and brought me a coloring book of The Wizard Of Oz. He knew that was my favorite Movie. I use to go down stairs and watch the movie with him. We lived together in a two- family home and I lived on the second floor.Living on Queen street in Cranston with my Uncle was the happiest years of my childhood.He will be very missed. He was a wonderful and amazing man with a huge heart.There will always be a place with his love in my heart. Thank God we know he is rejoicing in Heaven with Jesus Amen.
