  1. Rhonda Ficca says:

    Tony was very special to the Ficca family and to me personally. I know how very much my late parents Alfred and Filamena thought of him too and The Abbonizio family. Tony was a dedicated Christian and really made everyone welcome in his home and had such great love for people. He was always a pleasure to be around and he will be sorely missed. Helen, Randy, Colleen and family you are all in my prayers. May you carry his legacy onward.
