An unfortunate and unwanted passing, Tony, son of Egidia and Angelo; father of Mike and Caroline; brother of Adam, Fran, Marie, Robert and Frank; and friend to PJ, Mike, John and so many others passed after a bold and hopeful fight against cancer.

Father, brother, uncle, and friend to so many - whether asked for or not - your warm, inquisitive soul will be dearly missed. Your constant love, hope and support to any who asked for it or needed it; your always-open door; your never-ending optimism; your bottomless generosity; your inimitable stubborness; and your unwavering belief in the goodness inside every person - no matter how difficult to root out and bring to light - these are the the marks you have left on all of us who are so much the poorer for your departing.

We will miss the support and sustenance of your warm smile, and we will sorely miss the pleasure you brought to us all through the magic of your food. You did your father and mother proud and we will miss you so much. We love you. Rest now.
