Yesterday there was a Mass for Tony Tricoli. It was well attended by family and friends. Tony's widow, Mary Ann, was most gracious and kind to all. Following the Mass, everyone was invited to join her at a Suncoast Casino meeting room to visit and reminisce about Tony. My family and I were honored to attend, along with Scott and Estelle Hartman and Roger and Sandy Herman.

It turns out that the local Chip Club and the CCA were not the only recipients of his camaraderie and volunteering. He was also active with his church, bowling, and other activities/groups. If you ever met Tony, you know that he was an exceptionally nice guy!

Having succumbed to a second cancer attack, he will be missed.

May he Rest in Peace.
