Miss Uncle Tony and our phone calls that always brought me back to family, growing up,  and many happy occasions.  💕

My deepest condolences to all the Fortunato family on the loss of dear Uncle Tony. He was such a great man and had such a wonderful personality, quick wit and loving nature. We will miss him very much.    Love Cousin Phyllis Ann

My memories of Uncle Tony are those of a considerate, intelligent and wonderful man as well as a dedicated father and grandfather.  

I will miss our telephone calls and the wit and intelligence you always shared.  I will also miss your greeting cards for every holiday, birthday and anniversary, which you always remembered.  You were a true role model for a life filled with love and kindness.

May you rest in peace and enjoy being united once again with Aunt Babe, Craig and all your departed family and friends.  We will miss you, but know that heaven has gained another angel!

My memories of Uncle Tony are all wonderful and loving. We spoke every couple of weeks when I was home in New York and every day when Don and I were down at our home in Florida. 
When Uncle Tony was still driving he would come over
for a visit and sometimes I would convince him to stay for dinner. He had a special chair in our living room he loved to sit in and watch the water and the boats passing  in the intracoastal. We often would take him out for lunch -and every time he would  charm our server with his personality. No matter what we did together; we always enjoyed Uncle Tony ‘s wit, humor and his wonderful stories . He was a very special person and a beloved uncle who will always be remembered with love.  
Joan & Don 💕xoxo 


I know we are cousins, but we met 36 years ago this past April.  I came down to Florida for vacation and stayed in St. Pete. After a few days I called Tony so he could pick me up and I would stay with the family for a few days. He came in the old station wagon to pick me up. I wonder what he was thinking when he first saw me. Back then I had long hair and dressed, well let's say not conservative. Just curious.
Anyway, lots of great memories over the years. 
Two words, Hurricane Elena.

Uncle Tony will be best known for a lifetime of sacrifices for his family and friends along with his keen wit and sense of humor. He would often comment in his later years that there were few people left that he could discuss the old times with.  That's obviously no surprise when you're blessed with 99 years on this earth. He had a passion for current events, was a true American war hero and someone that I looked up to very much.  I will miss our long distance phone calls and that opportunity to reminisce on a regular basis.  We were truly blessed with his love and friendship all these years and now he will have the opportunity to reap his hard earned reward in heaven along with Aunt Babe, Craig and all those he loved here on earth.  He will always be in my memory and prayers. I salute you.
