Joann, Wendy and John, My parents would be disappointed if they knew I was late getting this to you from Tennessee. I have no words to say that have not already been said. The entire Lancellotti Family expresses their it eternal admiration for Tex, his family, his leadership and especially his unwavering friendship to Guido and Hope. To say he will be missed would be an understatement. Please accept our deepest love, appreciation and respect.

To the Simone family: Some of you probably remember me from the ballpark & Holy Trinity church. I started watching the Chiefs in 1946 when I was 12 years old. I remember when Tex was the trainer. As he moved up & became a familiar face in the stands, he always had time for a smile or to stop & chat for a moment or two. When I retired in 2000 my company gave me a trip to Toronto & money to buy tix for a game. I called Tex & told him I didn't want any special favors; just tell me where the good seats are so I can buy a couple. He asked me to wait a minute. Shortly he came back to the phone & said he wasn't using his tix on the day we wanted to go & I could come down & pick them up. I told him I'd be there in 10 minutes, before he changed his mind! What a guy! He was truly "Mr. Baseball" here in Syracuse. How fitting the road to the stadium was named in his honor. I hope I live long enough to see the stadium itself named after him. What a fitting tribute that would be. He will truly be missed. Maureen's & my deepest sympathies go to your family. How lucky we all were to have had this great man among us for so long. I wouldn't be surprised if the first thing he did when he got to heaven was to give God a rubdown & then teach him how to throw a slider!
My family here in Rochester & Syracuse have always held Tex in the highest regard. When you thought "Chiefs" you always thought of Tex. A true icon in Syracuse sports.

We want to let you know how sorry we are for your loss as a family and for the community. You will be in our prayers.
I, George Snyder (age 91) remember playing softball against Tex when he played 3rd base. I also played basketball against him. When I was playing senior softball with the Syracuse Cyclones, we got to play at the old McArthur Stadium and Tex was there to cheer us on!
Remember the good times!
