Dear Helen and Family, As you can see, Tony left such wonderful memories on our hearts that after 50 years many of his classmates readily remember him fondly. He was a kind, great guy (but you know that). Just wanted you to know that his memory will linger on, only in the nicest way.

Dad, no words can explain the hurt I'm feeling since you've been gone. You were my mentor, my role model, my Idol and my rock. I could count on you for anything. No matter what I did you always had my back and supported me. I want nothing more than to hold and talk to you again. It feels like a bad dream that you are no longer here with me. I will cherish the many memories that I have and never forget them. I hope to be half the father you were to my kids and make Jen as happy as you made mom. You fought the hardest battle against Cancer and didn't stop till your last breath. I still don't know how you went through what you did without a complaint. It was just another way in life that you amazed me. I made you my promise and I won't let you down. You did an excellent job with us and I will love you forever. Until we meet again keep watch over all of us. Talk to you soon. 👼🙏❤🇺🇸

Dad, I have attempted to type this a couple of times, and I can not come up with the words to describe how I feel, I am numb. The past two and a half years I thought was my hardest time thus far in life. But I was wrong. The hardest thing I have ever done and had to deal with happened this past month as I watched you fight and struggle to beat the cancer. I know you are no longer in pain and that you are up there looking down on us. You are with grandmom, grandpop Uncle Johnny and the rest of your family and friends. I love you daddy. I am and always will be your little girl. I can not wait to see you again.

Diane & Family, I am so sorry for your loss. I will never forget when I first met your Dad. He and your mom were at Marissa's softball game. They talked with me as if we'd known each other for a long time. I remember coming to visit how welcome he and your mom made me feel. Your dad was a sweetheart and even though I didn't know him for very long he will truly be missed. God Bless you and your family. Love Wendi

To the Ricciardi family. What a great guy your dad was I only know you as children but I see now what a fine job he and your mom did. What else would you expect from such wonderful parents. Your children are a reflection on you and you sure can be proud of the job your parents did. I knew your mom and dad when they were so young and my parents always spoke of them to the highest degree. My dad loved your mom and dad and was so happy to know such a wonderful family. No matter what people will say now your heart still feels like it's crying I know. Just keep thinking how lucky you were all through your lives. A wonderful husband and a perfect father. That's a hard find. Smile when you think of him and know how lucky you were.

Adam Villone left a message on November 14, 2013:
Dear Helen and family, I'll always remember Tony sitting in my kitchen drinking my mother's iced tea when I got home from school - just another member of the family. Sometimes I think he spent more time at my house when we were teenagers than he did at home. Always smiling, a big heart, and a happy-go-lucky outlook. It was great seeing the two of you at the Burrs on the Beach a couple of years ago, cheering me on in the Old-timers softball game just like old times. And I was really happy Tony came to the Bartram 50th reunion and we could get the old gang together again. My deepest condolences to you all and know that we'll always hold dear the happy memories of the times we shared with Tony. I know he will be smiling down on us when we do. Adam (Skip to my old friends)
