My Uncle Tony would always have such funny stories to tell us at family gatherings. I will miss him very much. Aunt Teresa, Sal, Mary Louise, and Joey I am so sorry for your loss. You are all in my prayers.

We love you and miss you very much Nonno.
9 years ago, he welcomed me into the family with open arms. He was a very caring loving man, always putting others before himself. He provided for his family and always made sure there was food on the table and no one ever left the table Hungry at Sunday dinners. The stories of the water dept and the green missle we will always cherish especially the classic story of him getting stopped on the thruway which Anthony mentioned above. He gave new meaning to the word "pineapple". I am so happy Sal and I have Antonio to carry on his name. He loved all his grandchildren and I am very happy Ava and Antonio got to meet him and spend time with him. Because of him, I will make sure my kids socks have loose elastic on them. (Inside joke, he used to cut all his socks at the top where all the elastic is because the elastic felt to tight) so anytime he saw the kids, he would check their socks. I can go on and on. My heart goes out to my mother in law, sister and brother in law, and my husband. Till we meet again. We love you and miss you.
Love Jen
I will never forget the stories of the green missile. He told the story of getting stopped on the thruway in thevgreen missile going somewhere with the family in the car. When asked.why he was stooped the cop said you were 85, tony said "shit thats all". He said he had to go cause he had a water main break, flashed jis badge and the cop let him go.
I always remember my Uncle Tony making us laugh as kids with all the stories he liked to tell. He was always a joker and was always generous. I don't think I ever saw him mad or upset. He will missed by all of us. My prayers go out to my Aunt Teresa and cousins. I hope you can find comfort and my deepest condolences to all of you.
