Sharon, Todd, Falon and Brandon....
My thought and prayers are with you at this time of sadness. May the memories you hold in your hearts help you to celebrate and share the ever-present spirit that you loved about this most special man. (And "Brando", I especially send many hugs and prayers to you...)

My family lived down the street from Tony's Sunoco station on State St. We were there for gas, car work, to buy cars, and of course to share stories. I bought my 1st car from Tony. Always friendly & fair, more like an uncle than a business man- I would stop in to see him when I returned to the area to visit family. He will be missed. Your family is in my prayers.

Mrs. Richute,

I was saddened to hear about your loss. You and your family are in my prayers.
I wish that I could have been there, but unfortunately I am out of town training for work. I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers through your this difficult time.

I was sorry to learn of Tony's passing. He was a good man who treated his customers like they were family. My family lived on Corlaer Avenue so we saw Tony all the time. He always had a smile and a greeting for us. When I was in college, my Dad took me down to Tony's to buy my first car. He knew Tony and trusted him and so did I. I remember stopping at the station for gas and all my car needs. Tony was always there to help. He will be missed!

Luci,

I was saddened to learn of your dad's passing. He obviuosly was a wonderful man -- with the name Tony (also my father's name), how could he not be? It's difficult to lose a parent at any age, but I hope you will treasure a lifetime of wonderful memories and take comfort in knowing his spirit will live on in you and your children.

You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.
