Tony was a wonderful person. He loved his family and he loved his work. Tony was born into the Produce Business. At an early age he started selling and delivering produce to restaurants and grocery stores. He met DeLona Greene when he was 25 years old. They were married for almost 58 years and raised six children.
Produce was in his blood and heart. He worked six days a week, year-round, without vacations. He had many stories to tell about going to other cities and states to pick up a load of tomatoes or other fruits and vegetables.
He will be truly missed for all the kindness and love he had in his heart for his wife and children. May the Dear Lord Jesus Christ take his soul into Heaven for all Eternity.
Tony was preceded in death by his parents Tony and Grace Palazola; his brothers Johnny and Sam; and his sisters Virginia, Jeanette, and Josephine.
Tony is survived by his wife DeLona, sons Jeffrey, Anthony, Jonathan, and Nicholas, daughters Angela and Dianna (Joffre), grandson Jesse, and sister Rosalie Jensen (Donald).
A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Saturday, February 5 at 11:00 AM at Catholic Church of the Holy Spirit, 2300 Hickory Crest Dr, Memphis, TN 38119.
