MESSINA FAMILY

  

The Messina Family mourns with you the loss of a wonderful man, and we extend our condolences to the Ventura Family. Tony loyally entrusted us with a portion of his business for many years, but his friendship was most important & most cherished. He was a "LEGEND" in the Sporting Goods industry & we treasure fond memories and stories that we tell to this day. Our hearts go out to the family at this sad time and we hope that you too find comfort in many wonderful memories you hold in your hearts & minds.

Tony passed on his great qualities to his Sons who carry the business torch in Tony's name & do a wonderful job where many have disappeared. We will truly miss Tony !

Sincerely

Dear Lillian, Paul and John:
We were so sorry to hear about Uncle Tony. Our deepest prayers are with all of you.
Everyone in Everett has an "Everett Sporting Goods" story. It is where we all got our
first ice skates, baseball bats, football and hockey equipment. Also, it was a great place
to get the true story or "local" news. We all have very fond memories of Tony and his
family. We will always remember him.

Joanne & Butch Graziosi

Sincerely,
Joanne & Butch Graziosi
