Tony was the nicest human my wife and I ever met
I spent 3 years living with him in my frat at URI.
I never saw him get angry. He would give you the shirt off his back.
I have so many great memories. I
Am sorry we heard of his passing so much time later.
He is surely with the angels.
God bless his family.

I was Anthony's insurance agent for many years. I always enjoyed talking with him and hearing about the beautiful home he had built quite a few years ago. He was a very nice, intelligent and interesting man. Condolences to Barbara, Margaret and family.

Anthony was my cousin and I truly loved him. He was always kind to me when I was a kid and we always had great talks when I saw him later in life. I always felt he had a kind and gentle soul. I know he will be greatly missed. This was nice to tribute to his legacy - family mattered to him.
