Obituaries

I am deeply saddened by the passing of my friend Tony. I knew he was facing end of life issues and regret due to my own health problems I was unable to visit him. We talked on the phone several times and we didn't have a problem discussing the end of his journey. As always he was of good humor and upbeat. This man, Tony Albano, was one of those rare people you meet during your lifetime but only if you get very very lucky. I got lucky. Very lucky. We always laughed when we "hung out". If you knew him you knew Tony was always upbeat and optimistic. Not something you can say about most people. He had obstacles in his life, that aside from this last one, he was able to overcome and keep smiling and laughing. I'm grateful for the friends he had that was closest to him. He cherished all of you. He was so lucky to have you throughout his life and nearby at the end. I may not be the right person to thank you all for friendship and love you gave him but I will. Thank you all. I will miss him deeply. I am sending his family and friends all my love and sympathy. He is gone too soon. Good bye my friend.

My sympathy to Tony's family and friends. Tony was a kind soul and I've always thought the world of him. Rest in peace, you are already greatly missed.

It was a great honor to know Tony. I remember talking to him about Wisconsin, from where my Dad was, and some family members still are, from. Tony was a kind and generous friend, and I always enjoyed seeing and visiting with him. He will be sorely missed, and my deepest condolences to his family and all the many dear friends he had.

Tony was a very special person. He had a heart of gold and was a true friend no matter time or distance. He will be Missed.
