To the Lacobelli family.
I’m so sorry for your loss. Tony was such a wonderful person. He really loved sports. We would talk about him being a season ticket holder of The Pat’s, to the first time he walked on their field, when he met the team and cheerleaders.
When it was mentioned to him if he wanted to keep the books for our softball team he was on it. No matter who we played for Tony was always there.
My sincere condolences to all of you. Heaven has gained a beautiful angel.
My sincere condolences to the Lacobelli Family.
Tony was such a wonderful person and a friend of mine for over 30 years. He was such an avid sports fan especially about his Pats. I remember when he told me about first time he went on the field to meet the team and the cheerleaders, he was so excited.
When it was mentioned to him if he wanted to keep the books for our softball team, he was thrilled. No matter what team we played for Tony was always there.
Tony will truly be missed by many and heaven has gained a beautiful angel.
Nothing I can say to relieve your pain. You all in my prayers.
Linda, Carol, Nick, Tony and Jack.

Words cannot express how sorry we are about Tony, he has been a part of my life for over 30 years. We worked together, played softball and traveled to more Patriot games than I can count. He has known our children since they were born and was always so kind and friendly to them and they will miss him as well. They knew not to make any plans with me when the Patriots were at home because they knew I would be with Tony at the game. I will miss our long rides back and forth and having the opportunity to listen to his vast knowledge of the Pats, the Cardinals, Yale football and to be able to hear his honest opinion on the games I would broadcast. He would make it a point to ask me when I was on the air next and if he could get help to get the computer to the right website he would listen and tell what I could do better. As quiet as Tony could be, when he spoke he was honest and forthright and I could always count on him when he was working for us to do the right thing. The customers that he would come in contact with would make it a point to single him out for his quality of work, his honest and polite interaction and thank us for having him there on the job. Tony was one of the people you meet in your life that gave of himself and never asked or expected anything in return. He was a dear friend and I will always miss him. Please feel free to let us know if there is anything we can do for your family. Our deepest condolences, The Bowler Family
