Anthony "Big Poppi" always wanted to help everyone. He would do anything to help a friend. He loved being on the water, going fishing, jetskiing, catching a New York Yankee game and just spending time with family and friends. Nothing gave him more joy than seeing his Nino on the field playing college ball. Nino was his world. He was super proud of his family. We had many plans ahead of us. Our lives & hearts are empty without him here with us. We know he will be with us every second of every day. We now have a guardian angel to watch over us forever. I'll love you forever, my one true love.
