I was a caddy at Pawtucket Country Club and was "Tony's" personal caddie . Would call him and tell him to get out of bed and told would meet him at the practice tee .After his round of golf, we would spend the rest of the day on the practice tee. Tony would take me to other courses in his the Cadillac because he wanted "his" caddie.

David,
I am so sorry for your loss. Although I never met your dad I feel like I knew him, from the stories my uncle told about pigeon racing, and from our talks about family and our "old neighborhood". Please know you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
