I took a picture of Tony's funeral agenda or pamphlet and posted it on one of the Mets groups we're both apart of and the response has been amazing. I wish I could share it all with you.

To Tony’s mom and dad:

I don’t know if you remember me or anything good about me. I went to School with Tony. I’m sure you know this already. Tony was a good friend to those who knew him. A better friend to me than I ever was to him. Even when I didn’t want it he tried to help me out, to set me straight, to let me down easy when he knew something that was going to to hurt me when I found out. 

I was never there when he needed me for support. One time he was hurting we drove out to Vancouver to see his ex. On the way back it was raining and we did a 360 on the highway. He didn’t seem concerned. Strangely neither was I. I don’t know what that means. 

I was there today to say goodbye. I didn’t think it would hurt me that much. It did. I didn’t have the balls to say hello. I’m not worthy. Be proud. Tony was a good man. He will not be forgotten.

Tony was my husbands very best friend . I knew Tony long before I met my husband. Tony and Jeremy spent lots of time together and I would see Tony too. He will be missed, he was part of my support team after I lost Jeremy. He would check up on me. We had a lot of good talks and fun. R.I. P Tony, you will be missed .

Tony was a staple down at the ball fields. His voice and laughter will forever be a memory to us all that knew him. He was always the guy with the jokes, the laugh, the hugs when we needed it and played the best music for us to listen to. 
Tony referred to many of us as family, often calling us “brother” or “sister” followed by a hug. He understood the importance of community and embraced it. I think we can all say today we are all better people for knowing Tony as he brought out the best in many of us. 
My sincere condolences to the family but I want you to know how much Tony was loved. The ball park has a void now but Tony will never be forgotten as his spirit was way too bright.
Rest in Peace my brother, I hope you are in a better place playing the best playlist. I will miss you.

I First met Tony back in the late 90’s when he was a DJ at Animals night club. He very quickly made you feel like a friend and welcomed you do be in his circle. He was always the nicest guy and we had a lot of good times together. We lost contact years back but reconnected on social media. He still had that Tony energy from back in the day. I was shocked and saddened to hear of his passing.  I was happy I could call him a friend. 
Rest well brother.

My dearest friend Tony Sam.  I’m so broken hearted about you having to leave this world.  I can’t even believe that I have to write this about you now.  Not you, not yet, I wasn’t ever ready for this.  💔  however I know you would probably give me heck for making this so sad, and you’d tell me to smarten up or you’d kick my ass.   You were a beautiful soul and I’m going to miss you so much.  We met in 1985, over 40 yrs ago, still not long enough.  Lots of laughs, drives, music, late night talks, movies, a few concerts, and just some good old times with our family and friends.  I’m going to miss you giving me shit for stupid things lol My sincere condolences to the family. Love you my friend ❤️  “Stars don’t fall from the sky “

Around 10 years ago I came across Tony's profile while visiting a mutual friends page. He was wearing a Mets jersey so I figured I'd send him a friend request. Ever since that day I had one friend who loved the Mets as much as I did. Tony reached out to me when I was struggling with my mental health. I tagged him in every inappropriate thing I shared on Facebook and he was as sick and twisted as I am. He was a good man with a beautiful heart and I'm so very grateful I could call him a friend. Love ya brother and GO METS!!!

To Tony’s family 

I knew Tony through my daughter Jeanette Leblond ( Howe) 
One of the early memories were Tony, and a couple of friends came to call on her. I remember his coloured parachute pants. that said to me, he seem to be a fun person!And he was, very much so!
He was very polite and respectful. He would ask Jeanette how is your mama?Her dad thought he was a pretty good kid.
  We are so sorry for your loss with our condolences 💐. 
With care and blessings ; from Jeanette’s parents, Pat and Bob Howe. 
🌹❤️💙

Tony 
Your smile brightened the lives of all the people around you
I loved the fact you had such a big heart and was always willing to help anyone in need
I will miss our conversations, LAUGHS  and time we have spent together 
I will forever keep you in my thoughts!
Rest easy my friend  🙏❤️

I am so glad this was caught on video. I will never forget that laugh. I will never forget that smile. I will never forget his open arms. I will never forget those dance moves. I (Corbin) would always dance in the dugout along to the music and Tony would laugh and dance along with me much like in this video which I will forever cherish. I could never say a bad thing nor ever heard a bad thing about that man. He was such a kind/positive/encouraging soul. There was never a bad day around Tony. He was loved by so many including ourselves and we will miss him dearly. 

Our deepest condolences to the family. We will see him dance again someday!

My deepest condolences to the family .  Anthony played a large part in my life during the 90's right up to now.  We did work together back in the early 90's  throughout to 2007. Remembering this spry young man kicking butt behind the DJ booth.  He was very charismatic.  He also DJ four of my families weddings.  Tony was a non judgemental human being, and he opened his heart to anyone who needed his caring touch or just listening and empathizing with anyone who needed. it.  He always had your back as well.  Also played many years of ball with him.  He will always have a special place in my heart! Will miss you and hounding you to play "Forever and Ever... Amen" .

My deepest condolences to Tony’s family and loved ones and we know there were many he was loved by so many people…he truly lit up a room when he entered … I have lots of amazing memories with him and will cherish them all … truly the best DJ and best friend anyone could have … rest in peace Tony until we meet again ❤️

My deepest sincerest condolences go to Tony's family and loved ones.  I have so many loving, funny,  beautiful memories of Tony and will cherish them all. Rest peacefully in paradise Tony, heaven is definitely rocking now with all of his music 🎶 icons and the greatest DJ ever ❣
