Mr. Padula was the sweetest man. When I entered his life over forty years ago he always treated me like one of the family. He was funny and such a generous man. He loved his children fiercely and was so proud of them. Joe and I will always have amazing memories of him. Now he will be with his Anna and Lisa and continue to watch over all of us. Mike & Carol we wish we could be there for you. Please know you are in our hearts and our prayers. Love you both so much!

Anthony Padula was the finest human being whom I have ever known. He personified love, kindness, and generosity while taking care of family members throughout four generations in the midst of his own considerable suffering. He was what every son, sibling, husband, father, and grandfather should be, and, most importantly, he lived Jesus' message of " Take up your cross and follow Me " obediently and lovingly. I am certain that Jesus has congratulated, smiled upon, and welcomed Uncle Tony Home.

I worked with you many years and you
