I am sorry to have to comment about Tony and his passing. He is someone I have known my entire life. We went to school together from grammar school to high school. We both grew up close to each other in the Highwood part of Hamden. We also both worked at Stop&Shop crossing paths a few times. Although we lost touch through the years I considered him a good friend. May he rest in peace. Right now I am really sad.
