So sorry to hear of Tony's passing. Tony was our neighbor who lived on our street. Whenever I would go for a walk and see Tony I would give him a salute. He always had a kind word to say. Another of our greatest generation. Rest in peace Tony.

Tony was a special human being. He was my dads best friend. When dad was in a nursing home with Alzheimer’s/dementia, Tony came to visit him. When dad recognized him he would be so excited to tell me that “My best friend Tony came to see me today”. I appreciated that so much. Tony was always smiling and loved doing handstands. Go with God Tony. Helen (and my dad) will be so happy to see you. To your family, I am very sorry for your loss but glad you have so many happy memories with your dad, grandpa, great grandpa & great-great grandpa.

Thank you to the entire Ambrose family for sharing Tony with us. Every day he was here he brought a smile to our faces. I imagine he is now dancing with his lovely bride. May you all find peace.

Our prayers, love, and sympathy for Tony as well as to all his family and friends. We are so sorry to hear of his loss, but so rejoice in Heaven's gain as well as Tony rejoining his wife Helen. We are so blessed to have known Tony throughout these past 18 years with Ascension Church, where he also served as a lead usher; the Knights of Columbus Ascension Parish Council & 4th Degree (West St Louis County) Holy Spirit Assembly. Always friendly, kind, helpful, energetic, and with a smile, Tony also had a fun side -- we'll never forget one social event when, in a suit & tie, he went down to the tiled floor and did a long series of pushups without losing his breath. On a side note, Helen was our son's PSR teacher when he was around 7 years old. He became very proficient with several dozen prayers due to her patient & caring focus. Helen is also a treasure.
We pray God's peace to all of you and that all of you will cherish the many good memories you have. We all will see him again when we meet Jesus Christ face to face as he just has, this is our hope. "He is our peace." Eph 2:14
