  1. Dear Tony ,Steve and Family; Sorry to hear about the passing of your father;please accept my condolences and sympathy at this time. Dick

  2. I felt strongly about signing this. What I will treasure forever is the joy, the partying, the food and laughter associated with him and Aunt Jo. They always entertained – their homes were filled with unexpected guests and they partied at a drop of a hat … as if they were expecting you for days. (They probably bit_ _ed about it later – but we never knew).

    They truly enriched my childhood by sharing their toys, snowmobiles, boats, waterski’s, vacation properties with our family. The numerous comedy stories of their fishing adventures and vacations will remain with me now and forever. So much so, the legacy has already been passed on to my children.

    When I think of him aroma’s of home cooking and warmth fill my senses. BA will live forever in my heart.

  3. I have many great memories of hanging around with the Sofia boys at St. Francis school. Your dad was a great guy. Remember when you took his car at 5:00 am?

  4. I was very sorry to hear about your father passing, he is in God’s hands now.
    I will keep all of his family in my prayers.
    God Bless, cousin Angela Masciangelo

  5. I’m gonna miss you Uncle Tony. I am glad I got to spend some time with you when you were here. Say hello to grandma for me!
