He was a talented, remarkable, and loving man who was devoted to both his immediate and extended family. He generously gave of himself to all who knew him, and could always be depended on for good advice and strong support. He would never turn anyone away or steer anyone wrong. He was honest and true, and personified the greatest of human virtues. We love him dearly, and he will be sorely missed. Through our great Roman Catholic faith, we know that we will see him again in a serene and loving place where their will be only joy and togetherness once again.

Dearest AnnMarie,
We are so very sorry for the loss of your dad; however, we all know he is in a much better place. Even though I never met your dad I know he must have been very special just by knowing how you are. Right now he is looking down upon you and your beautiful family smiling and he is so very proud of you. He may not be there physically but he will always and forever be in your heart. All our love, Agi, Carl, CJ, & Kristen

I will love this man always. I will miss him even more. He was so much more than a boss, he was and always will be a special friend. The time we had together; the laughs, the talks, the moments shared and all that he taught me will be cherished forever. I wish him peace at the side of the lord.

Just saw this while viewing another. Worked with Tony at Pinecliff Pharmacy for 5 years and knew him as the child of a customer prior to that. Just recently connected with Meg DeKany on FB and inquired how he was doing (Jan 18th) So sorry to see this bad news. I loved him greatly as supervisor, friend.
