We got to know Tony very well through my uncle Jimmy at several Sunday dinners at my uncles who was such a good friend to Tony. Tony was such a nice person and will be greatly missed.

My sympathy goes out to his family. I was his hairdresser but friend also. He was a kind and very congenial man. So easy to talk with. Very sorry for your loss.

My wife and I enjoyed Tony's friendship as our neighbor on Grandview Ave. We shared our garden's fruits with each other, my son Brendan as he mowed Tony's lawn and I snow blowed his driveway! And, of course, we always looked in on our common neighbor, Peg Goddard! He was always a gentleman and will be sorely missed!
