Melody & Bob wish to extend our deepest sympathies to all of the family. We enjoyed celebrating the Holiday with Uncle Tony over the past years. He was and will remain in our memory as an avid bicycle rider on the streets of Tucson. It was amazing he was able to continue his cycling to such a ripe Young" age. Bless him!

I am sorry to hear of Tony's passing! I worked closely with him at a photo lab in Tucson, where he worked part time after his retirement from the Post Office. The thing he admired most about me is that I'm Italian. Haha. I have great memories of him, and still use some of his favorite expressions to this very day, such as: "I like that noise!"
My deepest respect and condolences to Tony's Family. May he rest in peace.
