Tony may you R.I.P. God bless you and your loving family. Neil McNeil has lost a valued friend. God Bless.
Jayne. So sorry for your loss. We will pray for you and your family
May your soul Rest and peace Tony, Until we meet again in that special place called Heaven ,and my prayers Go out to the Damiani family. from one of your Neil McNeil Brothers
Tony was a good friend and will be sorely missed. He endured a lot in his final years, but I never knew him to complain. He was a model of dignity throughout his suffering, cheerful and optimistic to the end. He was an inspiration to me and will not soon be forgotten.
Tony and I re-connected 8-yrs ago at a Neil McNeil class of ‘76 reunion. We shared a passion for motorcycles and enjoyed many rides together. Jayne always helped with his pre-ride preparation. We always joked that Tony was ‘high-maintenance’… he agreed. She was clearly his rock. Jayne and the girls fortified him during his epic 17-yr battle with cancer. Tony was a true fighter, with a ‘support team’ second to none! Rest now my friend!
I’m so terribly sorry for your loss. He was a good friend and a great person, so proud of his loving family, Jayne, his girls and grandkids. Tony will be missed and never forgotten. The love in all your hearts will always remain.
I remember running back to school from lunch with Tony so we wouldn’t be late for class. Tony was always full of life and fun. Very sorry for loss.
Like all of us who knew Tony, we are all saddened at the news of his passing
Of course, I knew Tony at school, but I don’t think we shared many classes together.
I remember him best, taking the same bus, the Bellamy 9 home from school.
But let’s fast forward to one of the alumni Neil summer barbecues. I had not seen Tony in a long time, so I walked over to have polite conversation.
He seemed very happy to see me.
He went on to ask if I had done the things I wanted to do in business? Did I work with my father?
I was very surprised of course. I didn’t remember telling him my plans.
But it was not so much about me as it was that he remembered with a smile, one of our conversations on the bus home.
It’s those small moments we need to remember about the times we spent together.
On that Neil Barbaque , Tony provided one of those moments.
