My deepest condolences to the Rodela Family. Tony and I grew up together across the street from each other. We were those kids that played in the street from morning till night. Sitting under the street lights, playing tag, riding bikes running through the neighborhood playing ding dong ditch...always laughing. My childhood was the beat because of all of us on 6th st. My heart is broken but the memories will forever be with me.

My deepest condolences to the Rodela family . It has been a honor to have known Tony . I wasn’t lucky enough to enjoy his presence for a long time like everyone else but I was blessed with just a little over 3 years . In that short period of time I have grown to love Tony and not just because he gave me the gift of family ( his family ) but because I appreciated our conversations and laughs . Every time I spent the night and was headed to work in the morning he always made sure to tell me “ Have a good day “ or when I would come back from work “ How was your day ? . I never got the chance to tell him how much I appreciated that. But thank you Tony .

On the several occasions I would cook at the house and I would ask him if he was hungry he would say “ Yes , I’ll have some please “ . Tony would always tell me how good my meal was and I would like to think he meant it ha ha ha .

I cried a few times since you left us and gained your wings but I know now I have another guardian Angel watching over me and my kids .

I promise to care for your whole family and to pick them up when they can’t get up .

I promise to be your eyes & ears and much as I can .

You will be missed Tony . I’m not saying goodbye but I’ll see you later .

Love ,

Tiffiny ,Aj & Layla
