My deepest sympathy to the Fosco family.I went to St.Philip and sat in front of Tony.He said hello to me, every morning, by punching me in the back. That became part of my life, for the next 4 years. When I seen him at our reunion, couple of years ago, I asked him to punch me, for old tiome sake. He was a great, lovable guy and I'm very glad to say I knew him.

Dear Fosco Family, I am so sorry to hear about Tony. My dad, Don Paszkowski, and Tony were good friends when they worked out of the 21st together. Tony was a frequent guest at our house, and I loved hearing all their work-related stories. Apparently the CPD did not have a HR Department back in the day. The best memory I have of Tony is at a 4th of July party at our house attended by Chicago's finest (including Bill Winkle and John McNally). My dad was trying to host his party and was done lighting our sparklers every few minutes so he turned the task over to Tony who in turn gave me a pack of cigarettes, a lighter and a brick of firecrackers. I was ten! He was a really great guy, and I am so very sorry for your loss. May God be with your family.

June 28, 2011

Dear Fosco family may you remember Tony and thank God for having him in your lives. A true gentlemen and one of a kind Policeman.Our prayers and sympathy are with your family. Frank, Denise Frankie,And Dominick Balestri.
