Tony/Ken had a smile that would light up the room. He grew up in Frogtown, attended St. Agnes, was a proud Italian, Army Veteran, and avid sports fan. He loved to bowl & play ball, win his siblings’ poker pennies, and played a mean slot machine in his later years. Most of all he loved spending time with family & friends and watching his family grow.
