Dear Grillo Family - Tony was quite the character and so much fun to be around. He will be missed.

To the Grillo family, I would like to extend my condolences for your loss. And will keep you in my thoughts and prayers (Kelly, Marceda & family). Donna Frederick (West Wildwood).

Just wanted to say how lucky I was to have known Tony and what an amazing guy he was. People always say that after someones passing but Tony truly was amazing. Now when I feel like I have it tough I think of Tony and how amazing he did with the cards he was dealt. I consider myself lucky having known him!

To the Grillo family - my thoughts and prayers go out to you during this time. I was so sad to hear we lost Tony. Tony, Kelly & I have worked on many projects together over the last 10 years and Tony taught me so many things during that time. I will miss his great spirit and sense of humor. He was a great person and great to work with. I'll miss you Tony.

dear tony,me and vicente really love you.i can't wait to see you again.i love you very much.laurel

Dear Mr. & Mrs. Grillo & family,
I am so sad for you all over the loss of Tony. Even though death is a part of life, it is never easy to accept. It is always saddest for those left behind. Tony is at peace now and he will live on forever in your hearts. He lived an inspirational life and was a truly beautiful person. Please accept my deepest sympathy and may God bless you all during these difficult days... Maria Grande

To all the Grillo family, Tony was such a great inspiration to everyone who knew him, and those who didn't, missed knowing one of God's most marvelous works of art. Only the love and deep devotion of your remarkable family kept Tony on this earth to teach us all just how powerful a brain can be, and yet so humble. God help you to heal.

Dear Marie and family,
My deepest sympathy on the loss of your son. I remember reading about him in a prior story in the Press and he was an inspiration in his tenacity, warmth and sense of humor. You must have been so proud of him. I know how deeply saddened you are but Oh, the wonderful memories you must have! God bless you and keep you in His graces. Ellen Iaconelli Duffy

I am extremely saddened for your loss. It seems like yesterday we were in 8th grade laughing, and to hear from my parents how well Tony was doing I was thrilled... Please let me know if I can do anything big or small for the family! I certainly will have him in my heart and the all in my prayers.

Dear Grillo family, I am very sorry for the loss of Tony, he was a wonderful and funny guy. My family and I send our thoughts and prayers.

My condolences to your family. I'm very sorry to hear of your loss.

Dear Grillo Family,I am very saddened to hear of Tonys passing.I ve often wondered how all of you are and thought of Tony past few years.I think for all of us,13th Street was a golden age and a great place to grow up.Some of my best memories are all of us on the Grillo patio/Dwyer porch enjoying a summer evening with beers in hand.Taking Tony up or down the stairs,watching him motor on the 13th Street beach.He was a gentleman and a kind soul who bore his illness with a grace and dignity few of us rise to in this life.He will be missed and remembered by all of us who enjoyed his friendship.Tony and all of you are in my thoughts and prayers.Regards,Billy Dwyer,Bagram Air Field

Dear Grillo Family,
My thoughts and prayers are with your family and Tony. I have many fond memories of Tony and I going to Stockton every morning or to the Rolling Stones concert at JFK in Philly. It was an honor to know Tony and to let me be a part of your family for a few years. RIP Tony

Dear Jack and Marie and John,Kelly, Dianna and Victor and Katie,
I am so sorry for our loss. Tony was my friend and I will miss him. My thoughts and prayers are with you and Tony. I am in Texas studying the art of bullfighting at the Santa Maria Plaza de Toros with one of the best women matadoras in the world, Rachel Martinez. RIP Tony.

To the Grillo Family: Tony's life was a triumph of will. He defied doctors' prognoses and expectations. All with tremendous support from a loving family. I will have forever in my memory 2 images: 1 of the family, led by Mrs. Grillo, walking to the beach on summer days with kids in tow and Tony wheeling to the seawall and Mr. and Mrs. Grillo lifting Tony to the beach, and as the kids got older, John and Kelly doing the lifting; and 2, of John and Kelly and/or any number of friends lifting Tony up our steps for one of the many keg parties at our house. The Grillo Family rallied around Tony and he thrived. His life is a tribute to familial love. 13th Street was a good place with good families. The Dwyers, MacEacherns, Grillos, and Crowleys, were the families that lived through the 60s, 70's, and 80's on 13th Street. Going to school, to the beach, and each other's houses all through our childhood. We've all left 13th street in person, but never in our hearts and memories. Tony Grillo, RIP.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss.Fond memories Of graduating Holy Spirit with Tony.May he rest in peace.

I'm truley sorry to hear of the loss of your son / brother. I worked with Tony for just a brief period, but during that time i learned a great deal from him, including the basics of operating a computer, to learning how to play poker. I have nothing but fond memories of Tony, He inspired me to find my true self and not to be afraid to jump over life's hurdles. My familie's prayers go out to your family, the Love that was shared in your family was unmeasurable. I am truely blessed to have been a witness, and to have known him and his family.

DEAR GRILLOS,
SO SO SORRY TO HEAR OF TONYS PASSING, .GROWING UP WITH TONY TAUGHT ME A LOT ABOUT COMPASSION AND WILL. HE WAS ALWAYS A TROOPER AND ALWAYS HAD A BIG SMILE FOR EVERYONE, I HAVE FOND MEMORIES OF THE 13 ST DAYS,

Tony, I miss you! From the time you were a kid you were special, with a heart bigger than the ocean and a smile that always made things right. The days your mom would carry you to the water to the nights on our back porch and the crooked trips home from the Greenhouse after many beers were some of the best times ever!! I know you are now out of your chair walking on the beach hopefully with a beer and at peace. You are THE MAN !
