Our thoughts are with you at this time of your loss.
It seems so unfair that death should have the power to take away someone you love. And cause such pain that can be most difficult to bear.
The Bible Can Bring Comfort when we lose a loved one.
While you are grieving, maybe some of these scriptures will comfort you.
2 Corinthians 1:3, 4.
Acts 17:31.
Psalm 119:50, 52, 76.
ȁCThe hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life.ȁD—John 5:28, 29.
The Bible holds out a truly comforting hope. The Scriptures indicate that it is possible to be reunited with your dear loved one in the near future, but under very different conditions, under peaceful, righteous conditions.
And at that time humans will have the prospect of enjoying perfect health, and they will never have to die again.

The Wiley family sends our sincere condolences on your loss.

We were crushed to hear of Tony's illness and passing. I will cherish that last smile and hug from Tony at the Little Stallion Tounament this last year. We passed as Tony was running a bout sheet to a mat, and as usual, always so gracious and never too busy to greet a friend.

My sincere condolences to the family and all those that new Tony. We all feel a tremendous loss. I've worked for Tony the last 7 years but considered him more a friend than a boss. Any differences in our professional lives were smoothed over by our daily discussions about our families. It was quite evident he loved all of you and was extremely proud of your accomplishments. I hope you can gain some comfort in knowing he touched many lives and his spirit will live on forever through all of us. I'm going to miss this man.

My deepest sympothy and prayers go out to the Pizzurro Family. It was an honor and pleaseure to get to know Tony(TP) at work and outside of work. Tony always joked with me that I was like one of his kids working with him. We gave each other a hard time because we could and I went to TP for advice when I needed it. Tony was a great person and friend. I learned a lot about the family and Tony as a father over the 3 years I worked with Tony. He always put his family first. TP, you will be missed and will always have a place in my heart.

Our deepest sympathy to all of you. Tony was an amazing person both as a colleage, friend, husband and father. I have learned so much from him over the past 20 years. His ability to learn, grow, support and share his experiences in life has been a huge impact on me to better understand myself and how to deal with life's challenges no matter how difficult they are or seem. One of the most important things we can do while we are here, is to positively impact anyone we meet and Tony did just that for me and I know he did that with everyone.
Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you in this most difficult time.

Words cannot explain how much I will miss Tony's infectious smile and jovial being. Without him at our Chase building in Westerville, there is a huge void and he will be missed greatly. Tony was such a loving, caring, genuine person and whenever you were around him, his positive energy rubbed off on you. My deepest sympathy to all the family and friends who loved Tony so much.

Debbie & Family,
We were so saddened when we heard the news of Tony. Our deepest sympathy to you & the family.
So many people were truly blessed by knowing Tony as I'm sure you know. He was such a great, fun loving guy & especially great friend!
Thinking back to all the fun times we shared with you & Tony -- what great memories! You sure can't forget those long nights playing cards, huh? We are especially grateful for his annual Christmas time phone calls to the kids from Twinkle for so many years. That is a great memory they'll always cherish!
You are now and will continue to be in our thoughts & prayers. I know we are miles away but please don't forget -- we are only a phone call away.
May God be with you and the family as you go down this path. May His strength and love carry you when those sad moments come along. Just remember all the fun & loving moments you shared w/ Tony and praise God for having been blessed with such a wonderful person to have shared so many years with. We certainly will!
We love you & again our sincerest sympathy.

I would like to send my deepest condolences to Tony's family in these hard times. I worked with Tony since the day I joined JPMorgan and had the pleasure of meeting Tony whilst visiting the US last year. Tony was by far the most welcoming, kind and patient man I have had the pleasure to work with and I will miss our long chats, mostly digressing to discuss sport, music and families rather than work. Our thoughts are with you....

I would like to extend my sympathy to the Pizzurro family over the loss of Tony. All the people Tony associated with are bleesed to have had the opportunity to know him. I can not recall a time or place that Tony did not have a smile on his face or a kind word to share. Although I did not work directly with Tony it was evident that he was fully devoted to his family as he would always have at least one story to tell in regards to them. May God keep and continue to bless the Pizzurro family and all of Tony's loved ones.

Tony and I were boyhood friends. We worked together at Barry's Market. He was always upbeat and lots of fun. I'm so thankful I got to see the video on the Quint site. Though our paths went separate ways it allowed me to glimpse the rich family life he was blessed with.
God bless you all.

My deepest sympathy to The Pizzurro family in this most difficult time. I knew Tony for many years. We conducted business together. He was a "customer". I considered him so much more than that though; he was a good friend. Fair and honest; someone you could absolutely count on; a truly honorable man; and a strong man yet as caring and loving as God can make one. I respected him a great deal. Without fail, every interaction for business we ever had together inevitably ended up with discussion about our families. How he loved his family! I remember getting him some Notre Dame
football game tickets on a couple of occasions over the years - and he was so excited about it because he knew how excited his family would be about it. I will miss Tony Pizzurro very, very much. May God Bless him and his Family - always.
