Anthony DeStefano Obituary

Toni My Long Time Friend, I am always thinking about you and your family. I hold you close to my heart. Keep those wonderful memories of your
blessed father. Love you much(Jean)

A wonderful friend. I miss him every time I enter the Armory. He is the reason I am what I am. He molded, guided and gave me the integrity to never give up, You can do it, I can still hear him saying it!
Thanks AJ, there will never be another like you

Dear Joann,Mrs. DeStephano and family,
My love and thoughts are with you all...please accept my heartfelt condolences on your loss. He was a remarkable man and I'm sure his legacy will live on as you continue to remember him and his life well lived. May God bless and keep you all...

I am so sorry for your loss. I know how much he and Mrs. Destefano loved each other. God bless you. Our mom passed last January. Our prayers are always with you.

Joann and Family, you are in Christian's and my thoughts. Your dad was a wonderful, one-of-a-kind man and I know he loved you all very much. He will certainly be remembered and missed by many.

A Giant among men. Your influence will always be felt in the halls of the WLI armory.

Mrs. Destefano and Family,
It was nice to be able to meet you and your husband over the past months. I am keeping you and your family in my prayers. Let the love of God wrap his loving arms around you and give you strength.

It was a pleasure being a member of AJ's family. He mentored me thru my career in the SCANG. He mentored me in my marriage and set the example on how to give back to your community. Even though he is gone AJ is still with me for the rest of my life. Aunt Margret we love you dearly and will give you the support of our family.

Words are hard to find when your good friend has gone before you. I'm a better person for having shared many years together in our military walk. AJ will surly be missed but as we go on, the experence that he left with us can only make our time here more productive.
So down to earth, never to important that he could not put his self on each persons' level to deal personally. Admired for his umbleness.
Margaret and family, thanks for sharing such a dear person to so many functions we were fortunate to be a part of.

Toni, families and Friends:

The sincerely of my heart is with you all. Toni you spoke of your Father so often with much love and joy, honey keep all those good memories you have of him always in your heart....
