Coach Silvaggio was the heart of CBA Football. He treated us like family. Our 10 year State Championship anniversary is coming up and I know that he will smile down on us from above and share that special day with us. He is truly missed. I am glad your family allowed us to share him with you for all these years.

Sally, Anthony and Jeff, TJ and I were devastated when we heard about Midnight. He was such a great guy, a silent giant in our minds. We loved him. I grew up in his neighborhood and when I went to church or Squadrito's, I saw him and Nicky. Then he was our son's coach. He did so much for kids; what better could he have done. We will always remember his kind heart. RIP Midnight. We love you. Sally, thinking about you always T. Jeff and Anthony, you had the best!

My condolences to the Silvaggio Family. As I get ready to coach my son's 8-year old team this fall, it was with great sadness to hear about Coach's passing. Coach Silvaggio was my Pop Warner football coach for many years with the Lemoyne Dolphins. GREAT Memories!! We had allot of success largely due to the team/family atmosphere that Coach created. Although he was very tough he also was equally caring about each kid. I was the kid who traveled in from Liverpool to play with the city guys. It created lasting friendships, such as with Anthony, as we all went on to separate high schools etc. Coach Silvaggio helped plant the seeds of toughness, hard work and fundamental football skills that carried over to my high school and college playing days
Coach Silvaggio you lived a complete life evidenced by the impact you had on many of us, and your wisdom and coaching style will continue to the next generation as I will use the same lessons you taught me with my 5 and 8-year olds.
Be well!!!

My Condolences to the Silvaggio Family. I am sorry for your loss. I only Met Tony once at the Syracuse Chiefs game a few months ago. I had the great Pleasure of sitting next Tony and his wife Sally. We talked throughout the whole game.I left that game thinking what a Great couple They were and how easy it was to talk to them and become a friend if only for that one day. That day has had a lasting impression on me. And today I was so sad to see of Tony's Passing. I can see by all of the Tributes how loved Tony was. Not only by his family but by all of the people he Has touched and Helped Through out his journey in life. I feel very honored to have had the chance to spend that one day with Tony and Sally. God Speed.

My condolences to the Silvaggio family. I played for Coach in the old Lemoyne Pop Warner teams. With his leadership and guidance we won the midget championship in the early 80's. Those games with Sherman Park will never be forgotten. He taught us the valuable life lessons of hard work and loyalty. He was a great influence in a lot of young men's lives and a good man.
