Joanne and family, my deepest condolences. I remember Tony as a very hard working, hospitable father, husband and elder; looking forward to see him with his family soon in the new world

“Grief is the price of love”. The deeper the love, sadly so is the heartbreak when we lose a loved one. We are so so saddened that you are all experiencing this pain. In time the pain will soften but never truly go away until you are reunited forever. What a time that will be! Sending you all love and comfort at this time. ♥️

Spent many hours with Tony, working, talking and sharing a meal. I will always remember him as being a good personal friend, kind and helpful … as long as he had his first coffee in the morning under his belt!

He was my spiritual brother with which we shared moments together that will never be forgotten! Tony certainly hasn’t been forgotten by his God either! Safe in our creators memory, we all have a chance of seeing him alive once again, sharing his love for life, friends, family but most, his God! My sympathies to ALL the family including ones I have not met … While Tony will be greatly missed, warm memories will sustain us all until he is resurrected and back with us all. May Jehovahs blessings be with all the family, he WILL sustain you! All my love to the family!

Dear Joanne & Family,

We are so sorry to hear of Tony’s passing.

Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. May the beautiful memories you shared be a source of strength and comfort always.

Hi Joanne and Family,

We are very sorry to hear that our dear friend Tony passed away, which came as a great shock to us. We fondly remember the good times we had together in Markham. As time and unforeseen situations affected both our lives, we lost contact. However, if Jehovah wills, we will soon enough catch up. Please stay strong and rely on Jehovah's and your brothers and sisters support.

Tony was my first cousin, but he was also my friend, my work buddy, pool hall, and foosball competitor.

When his family moved to Canada, they lived with our family for a while. We were eight people in a small home with one bathroom. Tony and I went to school together, ate together, and hung around together during the boring hot summer nights with no TV.

After his family moved out, we kept in touch and as we grew older, we both realized that in order to be able to go to a movie, or to buy a treat, we would have to earn our own money, so in the winter we would gather up our snow shovels, knock on doors and shovel driveways. We did more walking than shovelling and didn't get rich.

When we were old enough, we got a Saturday job at Elite Linens, in the fashion district. We walked to Spadina and Wellington from East York to save a dime on the streetcar. We were so happy to earn $5.00, enjoy a bagel, and coffee for a morning's work. When we saved enough, we'd go get measured for custom dress pants, a huge $15.00 expense at the time. Tony took pride in his look, his Italian heritage, and his family. Looking back, those were treasured moments together!

You passed away too soon Tony. There were still conversations we needed to have. You were an amazing cousin, family man, hard worker, kind and generous. Condolences from Leonard Brienza, Debbie, and Li-Na.

So sorry to hear , remember with fondest our Fairview days. May Jehovah’s promises gives you comfort at this very difficult time and may the wonderful hope of the resurrection be like a anchor that holds you firm. In the words of the original song “Hope is a light that shines like the sun as we see ourselves there in that new world to come”. Never lose sight of that future. Love, Elaine

Hi Len,

Sending my heartfelt condolences on the loss of your Father. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time.

As both my spiritual brother and working alongside him on many projects, I have had many great conversations with Tony. I will miss them, but soon enough we will catch up. May Jehovah help his family to endure till that day.
