Doreen and family, I am so fortunate to have known Tony.

In the words of Leo Buscaglia: "I know for certain that we never lose the people we love, even to death, they continue to participate in every act, thought and decision we make..."

This is particularly meaningful for me because of his profound friendship with Joe.

So from here on, when Joe is looking for answers, I will not say "Call Tony."

Instead, I will ask him "What would Tony Mercurio do?"

Tony will never be forgotten. We will miss him always.

Love,
Sarah

Tony was the greatest friend imaginable. He was my big brother, my mentor, my confidant, and simply put, my "go-to-guy". He had so much knowledge about so many things, and took great pride in sharing his wisdom. Words cannot describe the wonderful person that he was. I'm blessed for the almost 40 years of having him in my life and the lives of my family. I will miss you dearly my friend. My deepest sympathy and support to Doreen and the family.
