So miss Tony's jokes when he came in to Cobra.  He was a bright spot here.  Such a kind and caring man.  May God bless him and his family.

Tony would come into the office here at Cobra Automotive and tell me the funniest of jokes every week.  He always had a smile on his face and was one of the nicest people i have ever met.  I loved to see him at the Italian Festival in southington along with the apple fest.  He was so very gracious and i always thanked him for his service to this county. My oldest brother was a green beret during the viet nam war and we would talk about my brothers service and his service, as well as lake Winnipesauke, newfound lake and sunapee.  I do miss his smiling face and his peanuts...he always teased me about the dent in my car!!  Hope you are enjoying yourself in Heaven Tony!!!

My Father, Frank J. Lamb, Was A Close Friend Of Tosh When He Owned The Texaco Station On Queen Street. That Is Also The Place That I Meet Him When I Was With My Father. Even After All These Years, I Would See Him When I Worked At The Carousel And He Would Stop In Each Week With The Guys From The YMCA. Tosh Was A Close Friend Of Mine That I Continued After My Father Passed Away ❤😇🙏😢😭😢🙏😇❤

Dear Patty, so very sorry to hear of Tosh’s passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Sincerely,
Carol DeRosa

Sorry to hear about the loss of your husband, dad, grandpa, and great grandpa. My daughter is a nurse at Midstate and recently let me know she cared for him. She said he was very sweet and she loved listening to him tell stories about his beloved Southington.

Condolences to your entire family.

I remember having coffee with Mr. And Mrs. T at fancy bagel talking about the years of Southington High school, Mr. T talked about how he joked with my grandmother Mary Znosko who worked with Mrs. T at Southington high. It was a pleasure always to talk to him and I enjoyed his company. He will be missed! Thinking of you all.

I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Tosh.  I will not be able to make it up to CT as I am living full time on Hilton head.  I looked forward to seeing Tosh and saying hi at the Carousel while I was up in CT.  We would reminisce about the old days and the days in the Guards.

I will be saying prayers for you and family

Tony's family, I am so sorry for your loss.  Tony was one of the nicest men I have ever met.  His sense of humor always made my day when he came to Cobra Automotive.  I Loved his famous butter cookies at Christmas and the Sausage and Pepper subs at the Apple Harvest.  I will miss his smiling face and the jokes he came to Cobra with.  He was a very special man and will hold a special place in my heart.  Another angel has gained its wings.  My deepest condolences to his family and friends.   God Speed Tony!!!

I first met Tony at a Unico meeting, as I too, am a Unican member. Tony was a very humble person, fun to be with. 
He went tto the meetings always expressing his thoughts,good ones.
Our prayers are with Tony's family. May his soul rest in peace.
Blessings, 
John and Marie Boutote

Dear Patty and Family: 

Please accept my sincere condolences on the passing of your husband/father/great grandfather.
Tosh was a special person who held his family and friends near and dear to his heart.  I knew him as a teen and in later years as an adult through Pat.  Always smiling, welcoming  and caring are the memories I have of Tosh.
Know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this sorrowful time.”
Requiesce in pace, Tosh.

Dear Patty and Family:
I am so deeply saddened to hear of Tosh’s passing. What an incredible man. Always so cheerful and sincere but yet as gentle and caring a person could be. 
I will fondly remember being a sister member of UNICO happily working alongside Tosh on various committees and events. He so loved, and was truly proud of the organization. Tosh was a true mentor, friend and confident to me.  I will never forget him.
Rest now dear friend. Your work here is done. May the Lord  greet you with open arms at your eternal rest. 
With sympathy and love to your family.
Carol Volpe
