  1. I truly do not know what to say. I know we lost touch for sometime, but I was truly lucky having you as a friend growing up. No matter how immature I was or the arguments I would get into with others, you always kept a positive attitude and smile on your face. You were always calm, and always respectful. No matter how much we bothered you about the Sabres and Reds LOL you always took it like a champ, like a true team follower. I have never to this day, seen anyone support a team, like you supported your Sabres. You and your family will always be in my thoughts and in my prayers Tony.
    I pray you help your family and loved ones from above to get them through such a huge loss.
    You will always be my friend and I hope in your mind, you considered me one as well.

  2. My deepest sympathies to the Crialese family. Heartbroken and deeply saddened with Tony’s passing. I will cherish the memories of growing up with you in the old neighborhood. Truly a good genuine person.

    Ciao To , watch over your family and daughter from above

  3. My deepest sympathies to the Crialese family. Heartbroken and deeply saddened , Tony was a great , sincere, and genuine person . Life always takes people on different paths, but I will forever remember growing up in the old neighborhood. You were a few years older than me and always had me tag along . I will remember fondly the numerous street hockey games and soccer games we had.

    Ciao To , everyone will miss you . Watch over your family and daughter from above

  4. condolences and sympathies to Franca and daughter Vanessa,
    strength and courage to you and your family..

  5. My deepest condolences to the Crialese family for your enormous loss. Tony meant a lot to me, his kindness and gentle soul will be sorely missed.
    I remember Tony’s love of sports, both as a fan and also in playing in the streets of RDP, be it in hockey, baseball or football his skills always impressed me especially with his Dan Marino canon of an arm! His love for the Sabres was a bit of a mystery to me but no matter how much we may have teased him for it that love for his team was unshakeable. I wish they could have won a cup for him!
    To this day, I always think of Tony when I see the Sabres, even though we lost touch over the years.
    I remember his little brothers how they looked up to him, a mountain of a man yet so gentle and sweet, and the love of his mom and late father who helped shape him into the person he was.
    Everyone who got to know Tony (ThunderCats – as some of us used to call him because of his cat like reflexes and Thunderous passes when he played football) were affected by him because we knew that we had a real genuine friend that we could count on!
    Rest in Peace my friend
    God Bless
    Dino

  7. Tony, I cannot even begin to express my sorrow. When I heard the news that you were ill, I was completely heart broken, you were such a great and kind person. I will never forget our high school years together and all those street hockey games we played together. When we saw each other over the years, we always talked about those days and laughed. My deepest condolences to the family and to your daughter Vanessa.

    R.I.P. my friend.

  14. My dearest Tony, I still cannot believe this. You were with us at Isabella’s in February and Tony’s house just this past March. Who knew that would be the last time you’d be amongst us. Last year at this time we were all partying at our ’89 reunion. RIP Tony, we will all miss you. Be with us at our next get together and keep the ’89 section up there alive with the others that left us before. I’ll miss seeing you around! Condolences to your daughter, mom and brothers.

    Tony (Jackson),
    I can’t believe this is the last time I’ll be addressing you, whether it’s in writing or in person. I’m writing this with great sadness & heartbroken. I’m still shocked that you left us in such a young age, I know you fought well. You weren’t the type to give up!
    You were loved by many, cause you were such a good, lovable man! You’ll be missed dearly by many.
    RIP buddy,
    The suffering and pain you went through the last couple of months must of been very hard on you and your dear family. I’m sure you’re in a better place watching over your mom and your dear daughter!
    Missing you, heartbroken and thinking of you!
