Christine and family,
We are very sad to hear the news about Tony's passing.  We did not know him long but became very fond of him.  He is missed in our Adult Day Program.

From, friends at Oshawa Senior Community Centres, Conant Branch

We remember fondly Tony and Christine in the Oshawa Little Theatre in the early 70's.  Tony produced everything back then!  We are sorry to hear of his passing and send love and hugs to Christine and his family.

With great sadness we learn of Antonio's untimely passing.  We remember him fondly from his younger days in Gallo.  He was a man of great character, honest, hard-working and family oriented who, together with his beloved Christine, created a beautiful, close-knit family. We shared many happy times together.  Your family has been in our thoughts often during this very difficult period. We now want to offer the whole family our most sincere and heartfelt condolences.  May you find comfort and strength in the memories of the many good years you spent together.
Un abbraccio forte a tutti, 
Pasquale, Maddalena Iannitti e famiglia.

While it may be more than 40 years since we moved from Oshawa, the Shaws' time spent with Tony and Christine always will be etched in our collective memories and hearts through the years of OLT and other fun times.  We recall your wedding as if it were yesterday, and all the shenanigans surrounding it.  The joy, the sweet joining of a wonderful couple who complimented each other in every way.  The beautiful, elegant, witty and bright Christine with Tony, always the impeccably dressed gentleman, funny, warm and kind in spirit.  We were so touched when Christine and Tony joined us after the funeral of our beloved Martin and we had a brief opportunity to reunite.  Today, we are even more thankful that we got to see Tony before he became so dreadfully sick.  While we could not attend the visitation or funeral in person, our thoughts and prayers are with you all.  Tony was a "class act" and we know that his loss is immensely painful.   We hope that the many special  moments that you spent with him will help sustain you during this difficult time.   With lots of love and hugs, Lee, Melissa and Heather

Raccontare un ricordo, prenderlo tra i tanti che ti legano ad una persona cara è difficile, è come svuotare un mare con un secchio. Si accetta la perdita solo perché come esseri umani siamo convinti che da qualche parte la nostra anima si libererà . E di sicuro tu instancabile viaggiatore starai cercando mete ardite, luoghi fantastici di cui mi raccontavi, e nel ricordo io mi perdo. 

Dear Christine and family.    Diane and I were so sorry to hear about Tony.  I was working with D'Arcy Smyth at OLT when Tony came in and said he wanted to get involved with the group.  He went on to become a valued member and a very dear friend of everyone in the group.  He will be missed but let's all keep the happy memories in our hearts.      Warmly,  Pat and Diane 

 Dear Christine, Thomas, Michael, and Maria I am so sorry for your great loss. Thank you for sharing your husband/father with me for a short time. Our best conversations were when his eyes lit up and his heart got bigger and he spoke of his children and grandchildren. Christine, you were an amazing advocate for Tony and these words stay with me to this day "I could not do this without Christine she is my rock".  Christine, you were well-loved by a great man. Tony my friend thank you for showing me how to be strong. Gus an coinnich sinn a-rithist

I remember  many many years ago trying out as a young teen for a part in the Oshawa Little Theater production of Teahouse of the August Moon. Our first readings were held at the Oshawa Public Library and  Tony was there also reading for a party and I think it was his introduction to the OLT...well as a young 14 year old then , what I do recall is what a gentlemen Tony was, gracious and  charming and  just a real nice guy. R.I.P. Tony Castaldo because all these year later i still think of you as a fine  person.

So sorry to hear of Tony's passing - he was such an amazing man. I had the privilege of working with him on a number of dealer trips.  He made it so easy for us to ensure that everyone had a great time and everything that they needed.  I was just thinking of him the other day actually and will always remember him for his kindness and humour! My deepest condolences to his family.

I first met the Castaldos when we attended the graduation of Daniel and Mike in Dublin and how excited we all were to share the experience of our children. I especially remember the warmth and enjoyment of our time together, and how both Tony and Christine embraced my son as part of their family.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Sincerely, Marilyn Kapeluto 

Christine and family,  we are so saddened to hear of the passing of Tony.  

Ralph and I have so many fond memories of Tony and the stories he loved to tell.  His story of his coming to Canada stands out among them.   

Please accept our deepest sympathy and know that you are often in our thoughts. 

Ralph and Margie

Christine and family, I am so sorry to hear about Tony's passing.  I have so many wonderful memories of the two of you working with D'Arcy and I on shows.  Backstage or onstage.   Such a gentleman. 
I'm thinking of you.

Our thoughts  are with the Castaldo family and friends.    

 My memory of Tony was when we visited his home and he was showing us his backyard and all the beautiful little havens there.

May he rest in peace in a beautiful haven in Heaven!

We’re so sorry to hear of the passing of Tony.  The day we met  Tony was one of the happiest of our lives. We were all so proud of our sons’ graduations.  The champagne flowed and the toast given by Tony was emotional and heart felt. It was indeed our pleasure to have met such a loving family.  May God Bless. 

A true gentleman who always made others feel valued and appreciated, especially in their volunteer time with the early years at The Oshawa Little Theatre.  To Christine and family, prayers continue for all of you and for Tony at this time.

Tony a man of reputable character and integrity. His story telling was endlessly entertaining and along with Christine , they opened up their home to welcome their friends and treat them like family.  The most gracious hosts with the biggest hearts. You will be missed and thought of often Tony.  Too few words for such a great man💛RIP my good friend.

My Castaldo Family-
We have so many memories of Uncle Tony that bring true smiles, laughter and joy to us. While we were far in distance, he was a presence in our home always. Our mom truly adored her baby brother, talked of him often, still til this day, her eyes light up  when we speak of him to her.  366 King St  was like a second home to us, always open to our family whenever we decided it was time for a road trip. And always filled with so much joy. I remember your dad crying the day I got married because he felt like I was one of his own. We were all truly blessed to have been loved by him, to have had so many memories and to have had a true family bond that kept us so close even with all the miles between us.  We will properly honor his memory together this weekend and in all our years to come.  Love you all ❤️


Tony was a true gentleman; always kind, considerate and thoughtful. His legacy of leadership at OLT will not be forgotten by those who carry on.  My sincere condolences to Christine and the whole family.

Michael

Zio Antonio how I wish I could have seen you next week, I was hoping to give you a big hug as we usually do when we see each other. I can’t even come to image the thought of you not being there anymore. Thank you for always being there for me and Anthony. I will always treasure the special times we spent together and the laughs we shared. You will be greatly missed and forever in our hearts. Love you


A nice memory is priceless and what Andre and I recall that day are the hockey stories Tony told us of the good old days.
He was also an amazing host in Florida with his wife Christine as they welcomed us and some friends with such generosity.
God Bless you Tony
Xoxo

To the Entire Castaldo Family;

Being able to call Tony a friend was an amazing privilege that I will never forget in this life. He was a man of distinction, warmth, life, love and passion.

Both Shawne and I will always remember the way he treated us like valued family members in every interaction.  A true man of class and humility.

You will be missed and loved forever Tony ❤️
