Anthony and family, I am truly sorry to hear of the loss of your father. A good heart has stopped beating, a good soul ascended to heaven. I will never forget his kindness.
Tony was a wonderful man! He looked out for me when a parishioner was not very kind and charitable during Mass. As a convert to Catholicism, Tony set an example as to what Our Lord expects from all of us as children of Christ!
You will be greatly missed at morning Mass at St. Bosco’s! May your kind soul be up in heaven with God and all the angels & saints!
