I still remember that laugh of his. I know the family thinks of him every day. Rosemary passed away July 9th, I know the real meaning now of losing the one you love. Hello to you Luann.

Just heard about Tony passing away. We were out of town at a family reunion. Our sympathy goes out to Luann and family. Tony could always bring a smile to your face.

Tony and I grew up together. We went to Our Lady of Snows grammar school and then Manogue HS.
As a City of Reno employee (Street Dept.) his vast knowledge of running heavy equipment was unsurpassed!
While in grammar school he nicked named me "Buckwheat" because my hair stood up in the back.
And through the years whenever he saw me he would yell out - hey Buckwheat.
He was a super person and a great friend to me.
His sense of humor will be missed.

I will always remember Tony laughing and teasing with a twinkle in his eyes and dimples in his cheeks.
I also recall the rivalry my husband Norm and Tony shared but their brotherly love ran deep.
May God bless Tony's family.
