Tony was like a brother to my dad, Paul. Although they were cousins, they lived together growing up in Norwich and grew up together very close my dad loved him a lot. Dad passed just a month before Tony and I believe they´re up there having fun again together.

Tony was very loved by everybody that knew him he was an amazing man and my family would like to share. Our deepest condolences with his family and loved ones for this extraordinary loss.

Tony and I worked together for the State in the early 70's. We were the kings of the puzzle ring races. I think more roads could have been surveyed if we didn't have our daily races. H was a smart guy and we enjoyed each other. Charlie, Very sorry Peter(Goose) Hope you are doing well

Robin
I was so sorry to learn of Tony's passing. I'm sure my dad, Roger, greeted him in Heaven with a big smile and of course a funny story or two.
Please accept my deepest sympathies. May God hold you in His gentle hands.

Tony and Robin were the most gracious of our StoneRidge residents. They would go out of there way to help any and all in need of fixes. The triumvirate of Tony Tom and Robin would tackle just about anything, bringing joy to the resident and eliminating anxiety
There combined talents, ,done freely, and with humor elevated the spirits of so many of us.
Tony was also a creative man , working with the quilters , learning other skills that caught his fancy. He was a man who reached out, always making others feel welcome and at home. It seems inconceivable that this giant of man has left us. My thoughts are with Robin.
. As she navigates a life without her beloved Tony. I plan to help I any way I can during this mourning period. There can be no doubt that Tony Siragusa was a multidimensional character who made a life-time of accomplishments, and then went on to share his brilliance, his exceptional humor and generosity with us here at StoneRidge. Tony was also force and will be terribly missed.
I am forever enriched because I knew Tony. May God.grant Tony and his family Grace during this Transition. And may we always remember this amazing man for his lifetime of love
