I met Tony through his daughter Teresa and I have to say there’s very few that have fought the fight stronger than him. His love for his family was priority. The hardest battle he fought with everything he had. The battle has taken him to heaven where he will keep going. He will live on through Teresa, the grandkids and great granddaughter because they have the same spunk and personality.

I can’t begin to say how much I will miss Tony. He was such a kind and loving man and it was my privilege to share a friendship with him for over 17 years. I truly loved him and will miss him. He will remain in my heart forever. May his soul rest in eternal peace.

My Uncle Anthony always made me feel so much at home. My cousin Teresa and I would have sleep overs at Teresa’s house. Her dad, my Uncle Anthony always would take us to the grocery store and let us pick out whatever we wanted for snacks. He made me feel right at home. I will miss him dearly. Rest In Peace Uncle Anthony. I am thankful for all you did for me.

Tony & I were friends since 1976. We went to many Buccaneer Games for so many years. A great friend and client all those years way back to Lindsay Water Treatment. We would always talk on Monday mornings about the football games on Sunday. Often the first business call he or I made were calling the other one. When his Brother in New York would call and harass him he’d call me to tell about the latest story from his Brother. There are no friends like old friends. I miss him dearly.

Anthony was like a son to my parents Leo and Lydia Capece, We were very
close. In each other’s lives all of my 72 years. We were in each other’s weddings and he was in my daughters wedding. Next to my parents death, Anthony my beloved cousin’s death is the hardest. We spoke several times a week. So many lifelong memories He fought very valiantly to be there for his family. He loved all of you Teresa, his grandchildren Jaime, Anthony Wes. Kyle his great granddaughter was very special to him as was all is family. As hard as it was for him he fought to have as much time with his loved ones. He will be missed but never forgotten. With love and respect to all who loved
him. He is in our hearts forever. Cousin Linda Capece Wiseman
