Hi Luciana and family,
I was so surprised to see Tony’s obituary when I opened the Minot Daily News this morning. I remember the last time I saw the two of you a little more than a year ago when you were preparing to move. I miss knowing that you are just around the corner to visit with on my walks by your place.
I always enjoyed visiting with Tony – he was such a class act and interesting man. Please know that you have my deepest sympathy.
God’s Blessings,
Andrea and Terry Hammer

I first met tony in the mid 70’s when he came to minot afb. He was the ncoic of the construction management branch of the civil engineering squadron. A straight forward military man with a wide background and experience. Tony and his family took to Minot and built their home here. After he retired he went to Minot state university and then started working as an inspector for the army corps of engineers. He worked with me at the corps during the Regan build-up and we became close friends. He ran his jobs very smoothly and was a most valuble team member. We visited him and luciana while he worked in Germany and stayed in contact while he worked in Italy. When he returned to Minot he was a regular member of our coffee team. Tony was one of those great americans who contributed greatly to his country and community.

Antonio was a wonderful man. I felt very lucky to have known him, shared wine and laughs, and enjoyed his warm family. My prayers are with everyone and especially Luciana in this time. We were all so graced by his presence, his wit, his mind, his passion. Thank you Toni for making this world a better place just by being.
Lots of love from Santa Barbara,
Jocelyn

Luciana and Family,
So sorry for your loss – Tony was such a great husband & father. I’m sure the void is great. May God comfort you during this difficult time. Even though I hadn’t seen alot of you after you retired, Luciana, I did keep in touch occasionally with Andrea and would get updates on you. I pray that God will lift you up and give you strength during this time.

To Tony’s Family:
We too were surprised and saddened to hear of Tony’s passing on. May God grant you peace.
We will always remember him, especially from OLG church and choir. Such a dedicated man.
The Nodakords will be singing “That’s Amore” at our fall performance and we will remember Tony in the singing of that song. God bless you all.
Dick and Mary Dupre.
