I just heard of you loss--please accept my condolences. I wish I knew sooner. We know Tony from Stonewell's Plaza, we owned K & B Stained Glass and our son, George worked with Tony during his high school years in the market. Tony would always open our door when he was passing and smile and say "Hi". I miss that. The last time I saw Tony was at the airport this past July, he always came over and gave me a hug. I will also miss that, but am thankful for my hugs. He always had a smile and good word for all. Such a great guy. The world is a lesser place without Tony. I will keep you all in my daily prayers and thoughts.

Sorry for "our" loss, Tony was always a pleasure to see and talk with. Don't think I ever saw him in a bad mood and he will be sorely missed. Worked with him both at the Stonewell and SuperVal.

Tony was a great guy to work for at the Stonewell Market. He was also a friend who was always there to talk sports. Even though I haven't seen Tony in some time, he would always hug my mother and ask her how my family was doing. We'll miss you, Tony.
