Uncle Tony you are missed! I'll never forget you taking me to my first concert - Destinys Child and Christina Aguilera at Jones Beach. You also took me to my first Yankees Game and I never felt cooler than when you dropped Liney and I off in Huntington Village to hang out and gave us $50. It was lovely being able to see you with all your amazing grand children these last few years. You always made me laugh and I will miss you. Love, Cousin Caitie

Tony interviewed me about 20 years ago. I will never forget him asking me at the end of the interview. How do you think it went. I hesitated and said good. He slapped the desk and said SO DO I. He was a good person and pushed me to reach my potential. It saddens me to think he is gone.

Tony was my branch manger friend and someone who was there for me through it all over 25 years.. His loyalty, wit and strength is something that you don’t see often. Was the first person to help, lead , or just listen . He will never be forgotten

Dad, I can’t believe it. I’m just waiting for you to call me or text me. I’m waiting for you to come through my front door with a bag of Chinese food or bagels. There is a hole in my life forever, but I know you are watching down on us all. I feel so lucky and fortunate you were my dad. You were hardworking, loyal and always dependable- dropping whatever you were doing to be there for us. You are missed beyond words. Please watch down on us all, especially all the grand babies. As Fiona said last night, “You are the best Popzzzzz.” I loved you and Fiona’s relationship so much and I know you got such a kick out of her, along with all the babies. You can finally rest easy. I love you dad xo

The first time I met Tony was when he took a group of us out to lunch in college just because we were friends with Jack. He took time getting to know all of us. He was genuine, hilarious, sharp as a tack, tall, strong and super generous. He always greeted you with a big smile and a firm handshake and had some excellent conversation for you. You knew when you met him that he was an absolute force. He stood up for what he believed in. I looked up to him. I’m comforted knowing that he got to enjoy his grandchildren. They don’t make em like Tony anymore, we lost a truly great person. Rest in peace big guy, we love you always and your legacy lives on forever.

I'm so very sorry to hear of Tony’s passing. I had the privilege of working with him for 24 years. He was more than a colleague—he was a mentor, a friend, and a brother to me. Tony gave me my first break in the industry and supported me as I pursued various licenses. Over the years, he became my confidant and sounding board. He played a deeply important role in my life, and I owe him more than I could ever repay. He was the glue that held us together in the office, through both good times and bad.
Tony loved his family deeply. He took great pride in being a devoted husband, father, and grandfather. His warmth, wisdom, humor, and steady presence touched so many of us. His many quotes and words of wisdom still resonate in my mind—they continue to guide me even now. His absence will be felt profoundly, both personally and professionally. He will be missed.
