I will always remember and be thankful for everything my grandfather did for me, and everything my grandmother still does for me. I am lucky to have grown up with them both being a huge part of my life, and I will always remember the good times growing up and seeing them every week. I still look at my grandpa's prayer card and hanging picture as I get ready in the morning and it gives me comfort everyday. I am very happy I have so many great memories. I love you grandpa, rest in peace.

My granddad really was the most amazing and selfless person I've ever known.  I miss him everyday.  Rest in peace grandpa.  We love you.

Ever since I can remember I have always admired my grandpa's sense of humor, focus on family, faith, diligence and rare ability to always place others before himself. I know my family wouldn't be where we are today if it wasn't for his hard work, desire to keep the family close, and parenting of my dad and aunt who both have certainly shaped me, my siblings, and my cousins. I hope to carry on his legacy by portraying his many admirable attributes. We will miss him tons but I am comforted because I know he is resting in peace and is always watching over me.

Dear Carmella and family,

Sorry to hear that Tony has passed away.  He was a great guy.  Rest in Peace.

Dear Carmie and family, 
I  am saddened to hear of Tony's passing. I have vivid memories of this kind and gentle man as a young college student earning money painting and plastering the Bridenbecker farmhouse as I peppered him with with questions about what he was doing.  Later he became a family member/neighbor as he continued his life as a professional, husband and dad. I later became the babysitter for David and Diane as he and Carmie attended the 9AM Sunday Mass . He was always the best!
I'm sure his goodness and kindness has welcomed him into the House of Our Lord for..."a job well done!"  
My sincere condolences to all of you for your loss. May you find comfort in the legacy he left behind for all of you. 
With love and prayers,
Janice Johnson Magilton

May your memories of the wonderful times you shared with your loved one comfort you and your family, today and always.

My grandfather, simply expressed, was a model for all of those around him. I always admired his humility and it is this quality of his that I most desire to emulate, for it was not only the hallmark quality of my grandpa; it is also that of Jesus Christ. Although my grandpa suffered, he did so with a dignity and grace that one does not often witness. His love for those around him, though quiet, was boundless. I hope that I will honor his memory every day of my life.

Tony was a wonderful man, with a big heart who will be sorely missed. My sincere condolences to Carmella and the D'Amelio family, you are in our thoughts and prayers. May Anthony rest in peace.

It's sad that my Grandpa is gone, but I'm happy that I was lucky enough to spend as much time with him as I did. He taught me a lot about dedication and loyalty, and even when dealing with health problems towards the end of his life he still maintained his signature sense of humor. He had high standards for his life, and although it will be tough I am going to try my best to live up to such a great man. Rest in peace Grandpa.

After my dad passed away many years ago, Tony, was the father figure in my life.  Always interested in his family, he listened to the usual challenges and successes providing an open ear. Inspiring advice was given during challenging times. Thanks and celebration was enjoyed with his family to mark life's achievements.  He set a wonderful example for my kids- a loving grandfather, the only one they got to know. His deep faith assisted him through the past couple of years,  May he be met with open arms....

Jim, Mark, and I were so sad to hear about Tony. We have always enjoyed our combined D'Amelio-Fahey-DeBoy brunches on special occasions, and we will truly miss Tony's presence. It was such a pleasure to know him, a real honor for us.

Barbara and I offer our sincere and heartfelt condolences to Carmella and the D'Amelio family.  Anthony, whom we always addressed as Tony, was a dear and close friend who possessed a wonderful sense of humor, unshakable ethical character, and deep love for his family and friends.  We both share the family's loss and pray comfort for them in knowing Anthony is now at peace with the Lord.
