I was shocked and saddened to hear of Tony’s passing! We were classmates in PA school, we were study buddies, we worked together, and I even named his infamous “hip clip.” He was such a genuine soul. My condolences to his mom his siblings his wife his kids his grandkids and his friends. Rest in peace sweet man. 

TONY, 
     To my son whom I carried in my womb for 9 months,
gave birth to, fed , diapered and held close. We shared 
a very close bond. There is no greater pain than losing
a child.   You knew you would die  young-   you tried to
 prepare me several times saying, "Mom, I don't want
to die young" even as a young child.  I will miss you the
rest of my life.  As I said at your bedside in the Intensive
Care Unit - I am looking forward to you greeting me first
at the door of heaven. See you up there my precious 
baby boy.      
                                            Love,   Mom

My precious nephew.  You were such a joy as a baby.  I cherish the times I took care of you when your mom was in the hospital.  I have such fun memories of all you growing up.   Love you beyond words and have a blast with Pap.  

Tony was a one of a kind man. I enjoyed working with him. He would always make sure that I was okay and that I was fed. He rarely complained even when he was in pain. He always put others first before him. He will truly be missed.

Bob and I worked with Tony for years in the ER. He was so bright and compassionate and could always make us laugh, especially when we needed it the most. We are both deeply saddened to learn of his passing, and also deeply grateful to have had the privilege to know him. We extend our sincere sympathy to his family. Bob and Jean Weinland

Oh the smiles, laughter & bits of orneriness we shared as kids ‘Lightening’.  You have impacted & touched so many lives, Tony, your legacy will carry on & on.  Rest peacefully my sweet cousin.  

I worked with Tony for three years and he was the most pleasant to work with. He will be missed. Thank you Tony for always listening and giving out some awesome advice ❤️

Im sorry to here of tony passing away i have known tony for long time since he was a young kid he was a super great guy he will  b missed i am so sorry i couldn't come God Bess his family  and u all will b in our prays.  Jerry and linda bell

I knew Tony as the Labcorp courier that picked up at Fastmed. We had many conversations about OS football. He usually sent me off with a bag of popcorn. Fine gentlemen. He will be sorely missed!

I cherished the time I got to spend with Tony and Michelle. We would have these fun dinners with Pat and Ron Nobles and we rotate houses and themes.  At Tony's and Michelle's house, he was so proud to show off his smoker! He and my hubby Howard loved talking about smoking meats! The food was so yummy! 

Tony  was super intelligent and always made me laugh! He and Michelle came over in January to watch the Bills game with Pat and Ron, and he had me busting a gut! We have the exact floor plan they had in their last house, and in a dry, deadpan voice, Tony asks me, "Where's the bathroom?" It took me a beat before I guffawed! Such a wit! Such a delight! Such a strong Christian man! 

I never knew all my friends who knew him from his work at FastMed! They absolutely adored him! My friend Patty said he was practically their family's primary care physician because they were there so much. My friend Leanne said that he and she were always cutting up every time she came in.

I love that so many people saw him for the great man he was! I'm grateful for all the lives he touched, including mine. 

Bless you, Michelle and Morgan and Gin and the entire family as you go through this difficult time. At least we ALL know the final destination of our journeys, and we rest in the comfort of Jesus' work on the cross. 

May God be with you all! You all are in our prayers! And, my husband Howard and I are especially praying hard for you all.

(This picture is so sweet of Michelle and Tony that I just had to share it. It's not even mine to share, but it embodies love. Thanks for letting me post it.)

As his wrestling coach, I remember Tony fondly.  Many times I would give him a ride to his home on Chestnut Ridge after our practice.  In addition to being a fine wrestler he was always upbeat and had a positive attitude.  It was my privilege to having had the opportunity to coach him.  Rest in Peace  Tony.

I met Tony 31 years ago, when I met my husband Marty.  They were fraternity brothers.  While we have not kept in contact over the years, I remember him from our youthful days.  Prior to my husband’s passing last year, Tony’s name would come up as we recalled happy and carefree memories .  Prayers for strength and comfort in the days ahead to all those who loved him.

Our family grew up down the street from Tony's and I remember so many great times .  His love of  photography and sense of humor are two things that come to my mind when I think of him.   My prayers and sympathies are with your family at this difficult time.  

It was my privilege to mentor Tony and later work with him as colleagues in emergency medicine in Cleveland area hospitals.  He was always curious, and a fine clinician;  exceptionally kind to his patients.  His training as respiratory therapist was invaluable in the ER. He helped many, many people get through their asthma attacks, calming them, making sure they understood treatment plans, and medications.  "Thanks Mr Tony!" - I can still see and hear that little kid, as he went home...   I well  remember Tony's  first thoughts and ideas regarding the "Hip Clip".  I was a bit dubious,  then suddenly they were on the TV medical shows and everybody wanted one! He liked figuring out how to solve everyday problems, to make things easier for everybody. 

Blessings and Peace for Tony and family.

I had the opportunity to speak with Tony at a Christmas party .
He was a delightful man who will be greatly missed by those who knew him and loved him. May his memory be eternal and may God wrap his loving arms around him as he enters the kingdom of Heaven. Tony's family has our sincerest condolences.
Eileen Ramos and family

Tony never missed an opportunity to stop and chat when driving by or walking the dog.  I remember he liked to talk about cars and tell jokes. One of the first people we met moving in back in 2011.  Our deepest condolences to your family. 

We were all at the movies and when we were leaving Tony came up behind  Brad an gave him a wet willie. It was hilarious.

Tony we will miss you , rest in peace.

Brad and Terry

I’ll never forget the words my daughter said after meeting Tony for the first time, “mom, he is the nicest man I have ever met” and that was even after he did the flu test on her.  We meet so many people over a lifetime and only a few will touch our hearts and for us Tony is one of the few. Our prayers go out to you and your family Michelle. 

Michelle I am so so sorry for your loss.   Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I was talking to Ashley and the gym and she said your husband was so nice to her when she came in with her ear issues... he had compassion on her and felt for her (girl trying to make it on her own with a gym salary). 
I heard that story and thought that was so kind of your husband but when I saw this picture just now- I thought- WAIT - he has helped MY daughter too.  I remember him because he really was kind and patient. Keira was a handful but he handled her amazingly.  Our community has lost a great man.  

I used to work with Tony  at Lake West and Lake East Hospitals for several years. he was a wonderful and bright person.  He was also a very optimistic person. My condolences to the family during this sad time
