Condolence: Thoughts of Tony today.

Condolence: We extend our sympathy to the family of Tony Paone Jr. From your cousins Sean Madge and Bernadette in Ireland.

Condolence: To say I am deeply shocked and saddened by the passing of my beloved Uncle Tony would be an understatement. His knowledge of this world, music, sports and life left an impression on me that I will carry for life. He was a true role model and someone I always looked up to. His sense of humor, character and personality were unparalleled. I will miss him dearly and this world will not be the same without him. My heart truly breaks for my Grandmother Mary, my mother Mary, and my aunts Nancy and Carolyn. Rest In Peace Uncle, you will be missed.

Condolence: St. Aloyisius died at the age of 23. He wrote a letter to his mother, from which the following is an excerpt. The entire text is found in the Office of Readings of the Liturgy of the Hours. I hope his words console you. "May the comfort and grace of the Holy Spirit be yours for ever, most honored lady...The divine goodness...is a fathomless and shoreless ocean...our parting shall not be for long; we shall be united with our Savior; there we shall praise him with heart and soul, sing of his mercies for ever, and enjoy eternal happiness. When he takes away what he once lent us, his purpose is to store our treasure elsewhere more safely and bestow on us those very blessings that we ourselves would most choose to have...I write...because I have no clearer way of expressing the love and respect I owe you as your son."

Condolence: My most heartfelt sympathies to the Paone family, Tony will be greatly missed. Personally, I will miss our talks about music, guitars, food, travel and any other topic that we wandered into - we could comfortably discuss anything that came to mind, often with humor. Rest in peace Tony.

Condolence: At Dad's funeral reception, your warm friendliness cheered my grieving heart,
Giving me a share in the feast your kindness set for your family and friends.
They say your faithful presence has graced all our family gatherings.
You are with us today in spirit, and like you,
I am there in spirit too, thanking God for you and praying for your eternal bliss.
Like you, I long to cheer your grieving loved ones with consoling words
Of God's unfathomable mercy.

Condolence: Much love and prayers to Aunt Mary and my dear cousins Mary, Nancy, and Carolyn. Sweet Anthony will be greatly missed. We have happy memories of Anthony that we will cherish forever---what a nice guy.

Condolence: I have known Tony for 40 plus years and have been honored to be his brother in law. He was a teenager when I first met him, always talking about sports, especially his beloved Bombers and Big Blue. His personality never waivered, always soft spoken, always caring about everyone, great sense of humor, and so very respectful of all. The last time I saw him was when him and Diane visited us in Ohio. We all had a great time, talking about the good ole days and his plans for the future. Our children always loved being with him, they so enjoyed his stories, he always related to them, they will miss him dearly. Since I received the call telling us about what occured, I have been one of the saddest guys around. He was a big part of our family and I know he and his Dad are together again, picking up where they left off. I will miss him as we all will. I will pray for him always and hope that our faith keeps us strong especially for my wife, Mary, my mother in law Mary, Nancy and Carolyn. We will all stay strong, he would want it no other way.

Condolence: In working with Tony at HRINJ over the last 3 years, I got to know how kind, sincere and knowledgeable man he was. He was truly a great guy in every way and will surely be missed. My prayers and condolences are with the Paone family during this tough time.

Condolence: To the Family & Friends of Tony Paone, Jr.: Tony was a great friend and colleague at Health Republic. I will miss him dearly.
