When we moved to Pattie Joe Lane, Anthony and Joyce were the first neighbors to welcome us to the neighborhood, and they invited us to a delicious dinner at their home.  Anthony was always kind, gentle, never complained, and he was quick to smile and laugh.  Anthony always took the time to pet and talk to our large rottweiler dog, referring to her as "puppy".  We're going to miss Anthony's annual Christmas visits, which became a part of our Christmas tradition.  And it was always obvious that Anthony loved his wife Joyce very much.  We will very much miss Anthony, and we'll always remember him.

We are so sorry to lose Anthony. It was wonderful having him as a neighbor and friend. We will miss his laugh and his homemade grape jelly! Our thoughts are with you, Joyce, at this difficult time.

Dear Joyce,  We are so sorry.  Howie & I will always remember him taking moving pictures of our wedding.  Anthony was one of the nicest people.

Dear Joyce, I am so sorry to hear about Anthony's passing.  He was one of the good guys.  Take care, our thoughts are with you.

Anthony was such a gentle and kind soul, he enriched our lives with his artistic talent for preserving the beautiful memories of family and friends. many years ago, I said to Anthony, are you sure you're a vitulli..I never heard u yell at anyone..he smiled, "I'd rather talk." god bless dear Anthony, we will miss you.

Dear Joyce, I can not express the deep sadness that Ellen I feel on Anthony's passing. I fondly recall the grat times we had as kids at Hudson Park,digging for clams and horsing around in the water. I especially recall the vitulli picnics at Edgewood Park, with his father barbecuing the chickens, hamburgers and especially Grandma's lamb sausage . Joyce our prayers are with you.

My sincere sympathies to Joyce and sons.  Anthony was always a part of my life.  We all grew up together.  I especially remember when he met his wife; when we all hung out at Hudson Park.  I was proud of his accomplishments and how he went out of his way to visit my Mother when she was sick.  I am happy that I spoke to him just two weeks ago. Anthony I will miss you! God bless you in heaven.

To Cousin Joyce and Boys -  

Deep sadness on the loss of Cousin Anthony. Here's to the many good memories of Edgewood Park.  He was very good to me...I will never forget him.
