Tony was always surrounded by family, whether hosting Sunday dinners or holidays at their longtime Melrose home. He loved sharing a laugh with his family and friends and was always up for a good joke. In his free time, he stayed active with regular games of handball with his friends for many years.
Most of all, Tony and Peggy were never apart. They were happiest when together and shared many happy memories with nights out dancing and date nights together. Tony was a loving husband, supportive father and beloved by his grandchildren. May he rest in peace.
