I knew Tony not only because he was "The Man" at Island Dragway for as long I can remember, but also a great customer to deal with at the auto parts store where I work. It was only September 3rd he purchased some items to get his prized "WARLOCK" Dodge show truck back in shape. Last week he came in just to say "she fired up and is almost ready for the road again".
I thought of him not only as a customer, but a friend as well.
Gonna miss ya'.

Tony,
You are my big brother, my partner in crime, my love.
Growing up we did some amazing things together. As youngsters living in Mississippi with mom we locked the nanny in the closet and hid under the house. In grade school in Jersey City we walked together to school and got mugged together going to school. We moved to Randolph where you let me hang out with your friends and dissect snakes on the porch. In Hackettstown we laid roots with mom and enjoyed our little brother Stephen together, even when he accidentally fell out of the shopping cart. In high school you tied me to the car and drove up our dirt road to get me into shape for track. You stepped in for our dad and walked me down the isle to give me to the man I love. You were there for the birth of my children, you where always there for all my hospitalizations.
You are definitely one of a kind. I am so sad that I couldn't be there for you this past weekend. I cry for you, I laugh with you, I am going to miss your calls on my birthday saying hay sis happy birthday.
I love you so dearly,
Your sister Dina

Melissa,
I am so very sorry for your loss. I know how hard it is to lose your daddy. I wish there was something I could tell you that would make things a little easier but honestly there isn't. Hold onto the memories and keep his name alive by sharing all of the happy times you had with him. The pain will not go away but life will continue on. And I promise you, you will find a way to keep moving on. Praying for you and your family.
Love,
Danielle

Indeed I got to know Tony very well while serving together with the Rescue Squad before I left for School.
I ask the LORD who alone can Comfort to hold you all in HIS hands as you mourn Tony.
