Dear Pape family,

I am caught so deeply by surprise by this sad news. I am so very sorry for your loss. My prayers are with you all.

What a great person to meet and be around. A well regarded and respected individual in our business.
Greatly missed by all.
Sympathy to Tony's family on this sudden loss.

Tony was a one of a kind, a unique individual whose love of life, family and work was above everyone else. His zest for life, his kids and Leslie made him special. His knowledge made him irreplaceable and his humor made him unforgetable. Still so hard to believe he will no longer be coming back in from a cigar, going to get a coffee, coming over and saying , "Hey Buddy, you got a minute?" We will miss your infectious laughter, crazy sense of humor and friendship. May the angels greet you and welcome you with open arms.

Still having trouble accepting that Tony is gone. He was one of the nicest guys in the truck parts business and he will be greatly missed by all. My condolences to his family and friends.

We all will miss Tony very much. Our condolences and thoughts are with Leslie, their children, and the extended families. It is impossible to think of Tony without thinking of him smiling and laughing. His good nature, kindness, and love of life was infectious. Tony and I were canoeing partners and hiking buddies many years ago. There was no one better to canoe with; not only was he strong as a bull, but he made the trip FUN. We all are better people for having known Tony, and he set a standard for leading a good and loving life that we all try to emulate.

Dear family of Tony:

Please accept my deepest sympathy. He was a great person and I am honored that he was a dear friend to my son, John. God bless all of you in this time of sorrow.

Sincerely. Virginia Cudecki

May our God of all comfort and peace be with your family during this time of sadness.

My prayers and condolences to Tony's wife and kids. Tony's was an infectious smile and a deeply rooted love of life. It was my pleasure to teach Tony Latin at Loyola Academy.

May the love that surrounds you now during this painful time lift your spirits and feed your souls. We hurt because we love. To love, is what God calls us to do. The pain will subside. But the love will endure -- your love for Tony/Dad and his love for you. "God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him." 1 John 4:16
Love onward my friends.

I am at a lose for words. My dear friend Tony with his great big smile, beautiful sense of humor, love for Chicago sports teams, and his enduring personality was one of a kind. I remember Michigan/Illinois football games, softball in Mio, great evenings in Kentucky, and a friendship that was as solid as they come. His legacy will live fon. Our sincere condolences to Leslie, Nick, Eric, and Gabby. To say Tony was a special person would be an understatement.

My deepest sympathies to the Pape family for the loss of a great man and dear friend.

Leslie and family I am very sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you. I cherished Tony's friendship, as well as, working with him as a colleague at Accuride. I loved when we spoke or traveled together as I always received the family update which he was so very proud of. I will miss our conversations and his sense of humor. Tony will be missed by many. May the many joyful times and wonderful memories comfort you. God Bless!

Our Thoughts and Prayers are with you. May the good Lords arms reach around your family to give you comfort.

I'll miss his smile and friendship. God's peace, Tony.

Tony always had a smile on his face and was one of the kindest men I know. He will be deeply missed. We lost a good man but heaven gained an angel.

We are still struggling with the thought that this is real! Our office will not be the same! You were always the one to lighten the mood when things got tense. You constantly made us laugh, think deeply, and want to pull our hair out all at the same time! If we ever had questions about something in the industry you were always the one we came to because you knew your stuff! We will miss you tremendously and know that your friends here at Accuride will never forget you! Who will sing for us now??? Our thoughts and prayers are with you Leslie, Nick, Eric, and Gabby! He loved you all so much and talked about you all the time! God Bless You!

May your hearts be filled with joyful times and wonderful memories together with Tony. I always appreciated having a good cigar and guy talk (BS'ing) with Tony at the Cigar Shop. He will be missed at Accuride...RIP.
