After 30 years of friendship I truly am at a loss. The only man who could make my old melon look good. Thanks Tony you will be missed

My thoughts, prayers and condolences are with the Abbate family. Tony was my barber for over 30 years.  He was a great person who made everyone feel special with his warm, friendly smile and personality.  Rest well, Tony and Rita.

Tony was a great man. He had been my barber since I was 6. I am 25 now. He was an amazing person. I saw him every month for 19 years and his smile never left, even in hard times. I am glad he is at peace now with his wife. Rest well Tony and Rita

Abbate Family,
    My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time! Tony and Rita, you were loved by many and were two of those most amazing people I had the pleasure of knowing. I know that my mom, who know both of you, was one of the first to greet you! May you both rest in peace with each other and watch over your family as they continue to grieve the loss of you both.
Hugs and prayers,
Kelly

Frankie and Maria...What a beautiful picture of your parents on their wedding day! Let the memory of them be forever be in your hearts and may The God of All Comfort be with you to sustain you during this difficult time.

We have known the younger Abbate's for some years as we have bowled with them at Brunswick Zone Glendale. Please accept our condolences and know that they are both together in a better place.

I was so sorry to hear about Tony and Rita.  I waited on them at Bank of America
when I was still working.  Your mom did my alterations on my clothes.  I used to
joke with her, and tell her she was keeping me in "stitches".  We had a lot of good laughs together.  They along with Charles and Maria, and Frank were a 
pleasure to know.  May God's peace and comfort strengthen you.  Joann Volz

To the Abbate family, we are very sorry for your lost.  May the Lord give you strength at this time of sorrow.

To the Abbate Family:  Please accept my deep sympathy as you go through this time of sadness.  I knew your mother because she bought lots of Avon slippers from me. Near the end of her life, they were the only things of comfort for her.  Sincerely, Millie Rahmatulla, her Avon lady.

Frankie,

My mom saw your parents' obituary in the newspaper and I wanted to share my condolences.  Prayers of peace for you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Ormai siete due angeli che potete volare soltanto tenendovi abbracciati......buon viaggio Rita e Tony ..........sentite condoglianze ai figli e alle famiglie Abbate

My heartfelt sympathies to the family. Proverbs 17:17 tells us that "A true companion is loving all the time and...is born for when there is distress." In times of such sorrow, the love and support of friends and family, can help carry you through. May their comfort help sustain you during this difficult time.

With My Deepest Sympathy,

Un abbraccio grande alle famiglie Abbate ciao rita e tony resterete sempre nei nostri cuori

Two of the kindest and most warm hearted people I have ever had the pleasure and privilege of knowing and having in my life. Abbate family, try to feel some comfort in knowing that they are still together holding each other in Heaven.... 
My deepest condolences to all of you,

So sorry for your loss we are thinking of you. 
Ed & Erma Frank and family
