Thank you! My mom & I need your address. Can you email me your address & phone number? Thanks!
Mr. Tucci was truly the kindest and most gentle soul. Hew was the epitome of a gentleman. He will be missed by all.
Our dearest Tucci Family,
No words can fully describe the deep, deep hole that losing our forever friend has made in our hearts.
I cannot get through a single day without thinking of him and having a good cry.
He was your Mom’s rock……they were so devoted to each other and depended on each other for everything.
Your Dad is free now, at peace and with our Lord……the ones he left behind will remember him till they meet again in Heaven.
R.I.P. our beloved Anthony…..we will never forget you 💔💔💔
Anthony was a kind soft spoken cousin I have nothing but fine memories of him from my childhood. My wife Carolyn and I would like to extend our deepest sympathy to his entire family. Sincerely , Gerard F Salerno
May God grant Mr. Tucci his eternal reward in Heaven. God bless all of you. His beautiful, loving family is his legacy.
Anthony is with the saints in Heaven now no doubt. He will always be remembered for his kindness to others, love of family, and his sense of humor that was uplifting. When I was in my teens, I remember Anthony and three of his friends recoding a song on our “new” device called a tape recorded. What a great voice and harmony his barbershop quartet had. The last I saw him was about a year ago and he hadn’t changed a bit – the same caring, happy cousin with a huge smile. God blessed him and his family!
Anthony and Irene were the cousins of my dear, late wife, Janet. We saw them many times at family events, and it was always a pleasure and comfort to be with them.
Anthony was a consummate gentleman, a great father, and a loving husband. My thoughts and prsyers are with Irene and their family.
RIP Uncle Tony. My thoughts and prayers go out to the Tucci Family. He was one of the nicest and kindest people I’ve ever met. I have many fond memories of family vacations in the Poconos, Mummers Parades, Phillies games, and family gatherings while growing up. Simply the Best!
My heart and prayers are with Mr. Tucci’s family, friends, and with his daughter, Marcella, whom I consider the greatest of friends. May the sorrow of his passing fade into the joy that love isn’t just memory, but is always present—always exists, forever.
My dear, dear Bro. Scriptures tell us “… rather leave the body and go HOME to the LORD”. So, while my heart is broken, my comfort is that you are HOME with the LORD. Thanks for always being there for me especially math challenges. Say “hello” to Dad, Mom, John and Fran. You will be missed, for sure. Love 💘 you more, Marie (MAWA)
I am sorry I lost my altar boy partner and singer on many of the corners in the needihood those years were wonderful. I am sorry we could not get together more I will miss the phone calls but most of all I will miss him.
Marie and I would love to extend our deepest sympathy to Irene the family may God Bless you all.
My sincerest condolences to the Tucci family. I know he will be missed, but hoping that every memory of him brings a smile to your face and brightens your day.
Praying that God comforts your hearts in the days ahead.
Dear Tucci Family,
It is always difficult to lose someone you love. Be comforted by knowing that God is with you and you have the blessed hope of seeing him and being with him in heaven one day. I hope that every memory of Anthony brings a smile to your face and brightens your day.
With sincerest sympathy,
The Brown Family
Farewell Uncle Tony, your abundant warm-heartedness and good humor were always contagious and always appreciated. You were a blessing to my parents and to all of us. The welcome I felt in South Philly always is a big reason the city is a part of my soul to this day, as is my love for great Italian food! My love and prayers go out Aunt Irene and all the Tucci’s.
What a great man! When someone we love leaves this world, I try not to focus on the pain we are all feeling. I thinks of the joy he is feeling in returning to his heavenly home. I so love the picture attached to this obituary for that reason. I will miss my Uncle Tony as will all of us. But in just a relatively brief while, we will return as well and get to see him again. My prayers have been going out to Aunt Irene, my cousins, and the whole Tucci family.
My deepest sympathy. May loving memories ease your loss and bring you comfort.
To my dear friend Irene and her family,,, my deepest expression of sympathy to all on the loss of your beloved husband.. father, grandfather, and brother,..Anthony. May his everlasting smile and gentleness remain with us forever. Thank you Lord for the blessing of his loving friendship and thank you Anthony for being that special light that sparked in the darkness..forever friends..Love you Irene!
Dear Dad, I miss our daily phone calls and our conversations about progressive topics. I love and miss you so much!
Dear Anthony,
May your gentle soul Rest In Perfect Peace.
Until we meet again my dear cousin.
Al and Carol.
Just saw the news. I remember Mr Tucci from years ago at Stella Maris. A great wonderful, caring and kind family man. On behalf of the McKinley family, we are sorry to hear of your loss. GOD BLESS.
