I’m so sorry to hear of Tony’s passing. It was a privilege to work with Tony for many, many years at the Research Center with his perpetually good spirit and his dedication to his expertise. With my sympathy
Maggie,
I was doing a web search to see if I could get the old gang from AL Tech together this summer, when I heard this awful news from Ed Ragosta. Lyn and I are so sorry to hear of this. Tony was far too young to leave us. He was one of my favorite people at Al Tech. Remember the wonderful times we had at our AL Tech picnics; from Lake George to Thatcher Park. We played baseball and all the kids played so well with each other. At a young age I think my son Kieran had a crush on your daughter–maybe it was mutual. Eddie reminded me of the hilarious Halloween Party we had at our house dunking for apples. We miss you sooo much. Tony and I had so many laughs at work, like the time I came in dressed as Santa Clause and surprised him with my silly gifts (have you been a good boy, Tony). We were blessed to have you, Tony and the kids in our lives.
Remembering you all fondly and lovingly,
Ed and Lyn Connolly
Maggie and Family,
Just recently learned of Tony’s passing. He’s left us at far too young an age. Ann Marie and I want to express our deepest sympathy to you and your family and we’ll keep you in our prayers.

Margaret, I ran into Mark Teson yesterday. 12/22/22. We grew up together in port Schuyler along with your family. The Coffey’s. I knew all of you so well. Your brother Jackie was my first friend when my mom and I moved there. Mark and I were talking about the good old days. And in conversation he mentioned about Tony. I had no idea about his passing. I am very very sorry about your loss. I just wanted to reach out to you. Your family was a huge part of my life. God bless you. Phil Sirigiano.
