Dear Sue,
I was so sorry to hear of Tony's passing.
He was a wonderful man. His and your love and care of Alice was never ending.
I am glad I had the pleasure of meeting and sharing time with both of you.
I know Alice is happy to have Tony by her side once more.
Sincerely,
Kelly Barnes

From Joe: 
When Tony first married Aunt Sue, I thought it was the end of the world. No more skipping class, no more staying at my friends for a few days straight, no more fun. I was wrong in this thinking though. Tony taught discipline and good moral character. He was a good man who always joked and helped anyone who truly needed it. He had a beautiful relationship with Alice, a wonderful elderly woman whom Tony and my Aunt would spend many nights caring for, playing cards with, running errands, and many other things. 
This is a small example that shows the kind of man he was. A true gentleman at heart and a great man who will forever be missed by all who got to meet him, and even more by those who loved him. Thank you for being in all our lives. We love you and will see you again in Heaven!

I have not known Tony as long as some of the others here, so I do not have as many memories to share. But I do remember how warmly he welcomed me into the family when we first met. He always made sure that Joe and I had a place to stay when we came to visit, and even when we did not stay with him and Aunt Sue, they always found time to see us and catch up. Even when Tony was sick, he would make the effort to spend time with us. Tony loved to talk about Disney, his favorite character Goofy, and old stories about Jess, Joe, Rachel, and Paul. He and Aunt Sue enjoyed going to the theatre together, and he would always share his experiences with us. I could see how deeply Tony loved Aunt Sue, and how happy they made each other. Tony had an enthusiastic sense of humor, and he always had a joke or a funny story to share with us at the dinner table. Despite no longer being with us, Tony's spirit will live on in our hearts and memories. I will always cherish the times we spent together, and I know that he is now at peace, watching over the family he loved. Tony, you will be missed by us all. Rest in peace, knowing that you are forever loved and remembered.

I have known Tony all my life and in the eyes of god, he was always a fatherly figure for me. Tony was originally my godfather with his first wife, Connie, as my godmother . Three years after Connie’s passing, Tony became my stepdad. Although this might sound like it was a dramatic telenovela, it was far from it . It was actually a really wholesome union filled with love. 

Tony and I butted heads from time to time but we did so with love. At the few times I was wrong and Tony was right (haha), Tony would pull down on his ear lobe like a cartoon character trying to stretch out his ear and while laughing ask me to repeat that I was wrong. Teaching me that being wrong doesn’t have to be so serious (even though in times when Tony was wrong, he was always right and had the shirt that said this) .

A thing that was kind of mine and Tony’s thing was watching movies like Harry Potter and shows like Charmed. While watching these shows, we would talk about the mythology behind the plots and the history of magic. We had an unspoken understanding that when these shows were on, all arguments stopped. 

Tony was notorious for his bad dad jokes and his love for Goofy. At times I think that Tony wished he was Goofy. 

The thing that Tony is most know for though was his love for his family and friends. He loved his first wife, Connie, profusely and also loved my mom very much. He loved his sons (Stephen and Michael) so so so much. And he was able to find room in his heart to love my brother, my cousins, Alice, myself, and so many more. 

Tony will be missed. We all loved you so much. I wish we could have had that taco eating contest in Mexico ( you would have lost) but that will have to be in another lifetime.

Tony was always cracking jokes and poking fun at people he loved the most. He always knew how to surprise you when you least expected it. I remember when I found kittens in our roof and he said “If you can catch them we can keep them”
Of course I took that challenge! A few hours later we had two little black kittens! 
Tony named his shadow and mine was trouble!
Even when we bump heads we would still joke around.
The thing I loved the most about Tony was how happy he made my Aunt. No matter the place she was happy and joking with him too.
We really miss you already and I wish you could have come to Germany to visit. We love you!

Tony was a great Step-Dad. I especially liked his sense of humor and his always cracking jokes - even at the wrong time. Tony could be stern, but I always felt like he treated me like a son and always helped me when he could.  I will miss Tony very much.  -- Paul Speck

Our family will forever be missing you Tony, you brought so much Love & Laughter to our family, it breaks my heart to have to say goodbye.   

You were perfect for my cousin and completed our family.  You always entered a room with smiles & laughter, and occasionally a bad dad joke.   But we would not have wanted it any other way, and I loved the way you made my cousin smile.

Although you suffered your own health challenges, you still found the inner strength to always be there for the rest of us.  They say God always takes the good ones….well he’s definitely done that.  
We will miss you Tony…

It is difficult having to say goodbye, especially to one of the good ones. We had so much fun over the years. You always made our family events so much fun. Even when you weren't feeling well, you always had a smile or a joke. You will be missed, thank you for all of the great memories.

Over the years, Mike and I have been so fortunate to spend many family get-together with Tony and Sue.  In reflecting back on these times, it makes me smile to remember the simple gestures that showed the special love and bond that Sue and Tony shared.  Their close proximity and total interest in each other's conversation, observing the unmentioned sentimental gifts Tony gave to Sue and the lively conversations regarding all of their adventures.  Tony enthusiastically shared stories regarding the places they visited, their love of the theatre, their exotic meals experiences, the special individuals they encountered, and the many memories from their past.   Based on his experiences and wealth of knowledge, Tony provided guidance you would come to expect from an older brother.  Tony was open and honest, and a very giving person.  I remember the many occasions that Tony and Sue shared with their friend Alice and other members of their church community.  We are extremely thankful for the memories and times we shared with Tony and know that they hold a special place in all of our hearts.  I'm also extremely happy that my sister experienced such a true and exceptional love. ❤️

Dearest Tony,  
I know that I am Truly Blessed to have shared a part of your life with you.  You were a remarkably courageous, strong, and loving man, and a wonderful Husband.  I know that I, for the rest of my life, will always miss you and all the fun/good times that we had, and all the plans we had for our future.  Most of all, I will miss growing old with you.  

Tony, you were always considerate and fun to be around.  Even during dire times; when going to the doctors and the ER, being in the hospital and rehab, and having chemo and radiation treatments; you were always lighthearted, joking around, nice, and funny.  I will always miss seeing you wiggle your eyebrows and ears, and miss you tapping my hand to the old tune, “Shave and a Haircut, Two Bits”.
 
As we had prayed, I wish that it would have been God’s Will for us to have many more happy years together, but that was not to be.  My only comfort is knowing that you are no longer in pain and surrounded by love, in God’s Kingdom.   Love you so much! Until we meet again, Dear.

Tony coming into my sister Sue's life was a very special day.  He made her very happy, and he did a lot to help raise both Sue and Ann's children.  We had many family get togethers that he attended that I  will always remember and cherise.
Tony was a big part of our family, and he will be missed a lot.

From Pete and Fran Cinquepalma

Fran and I had more then our share of losses in the last few months. First Derek our son in law, then Ann our daughter and now Tony, another son in law.  When you are in your 90's as we are, these deaths difficult,  yes but now definitely heart breaking. 

Tony and our daughter Sue, because of our daughter Ann's many handicaps raised two of Ann's 3 children for her.  Fran and I had the wonderful honor of raising her third child Rebecca.  No problem for Tony, his huge heart and strong determination of Sue, resulted in two strong and wonderful assets to our world.  

Also, after many brunches and dinners at home and going out with Tony and Sue, his friendship and prayers at dinners , no matter where will be missed greatly.  

One only has to look at the strong care and love he shared with his elderly friend Alice, will attest to his wonderful heart.  

God Bless Tony, you will be missed by all.  

Fran and Pete.

I bought this ornament last year because it made me smile. My parents used to call him “Tony Tiger”.  At swim meets when Tony would be racing, my parents would yell GO TIGER, GO TONY TIGER…………..he told me that it used to embarrass him, but he would never let them know. 😁 Tiger became his nickname.

You took with you a piece of my heart. I will miss you my little brother. Until we meet again. 
I Love you, 
Claire

Tony Magill was one of the kindest and most pleasant co-worker  I had a chance to work with.  Always made you laugh with a  smile of humor with his jokes.  Tony was excellent with his work at the Kennedy Space center. He worked whenever needed
including Sundays in the control room. Tony was always on call and ready to work. Tony and I worked on submission of the Silver Snoopy award for the late Bob Pemberton which he did receive from Nasa.
Tony should have received the Silver Snoopy award in my opinion for all the work accomplished.  Tony will be missed. I salute a great friend 

Darryl Robertson

I worked with Tony at Kennedy Space Center. He always had a smile on his face at work. God bless his family during this sad time in their lives and uplifting them in prayer.

I worked at the Space Center with Tony.  He always had a smile on his face and a quick hug to hand out.  My condolences to all of Tony’s family.  May he rest in peace and in God’s love.
