I'm so sorry for your guys loss. I know it was a little while ago, but came across this online today and had to write something. I got to know Tony over the past few years. I own a small music store in Rockaway, NJ and he has been our sales rep for many years.. I am privileged to have dealt with such a great guy and regret never having the privilege to meet him in person. He always had a great attitude, treated me with respect and integrity. Also spoke very highly of his son AJ that worked with him. I will miss talking to him every month. Prayers out to his family.

I was deeply saddened to hear of Tony's passing.
I have been a loyal customer of Tony's for nearly 40 years and have been grateful for his passion to the music industry, golf, and the Chicago Bears. Over the years, I have been contacted by numerous competitors of Harris-Teller asking why they couldn't get any business from us and my response was always, “Because you don't have Tony Caschetta working for you!” Tony was a class act and will be sadly missed and fondly remembered by all who have known him.

Thank you Tony, for all the great service, personal approach, and good humor. All of us here at Bogner Sound will miss talking to you...I've personally been talking to him regularly for over 15 years, and it was a pleasure every time. My sincere condolences to the family.

I along with everyone here at Tringas Music are heartbroken today over hearing the news of Tony's passing. This "salt of the earth" guy gave me a break 35 years when he opened an account on just my word for a very young (22 year old) kid just trying to get started in the music business when no one else would even talk to me. I will never forget him for his trust and great friendship over these past 4 decades. He always called me "The Greek" and joked his way into my heart...and I can truly say I have never known someone as genuine and generous as Tony...God rest his soul and may you find peace during this very tough time.

Joann,

Dear JoAnne and Family, This is truly a sad day at Musically Yours. Tony was more than just our Harris Teller contact. We have great memories of a decade of conversations about life and family that we will never forget. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

January 21, 2014

You will be sadly missed by so many. You have been so good to the Blankenship family over the years. We had hoped to be with you this last day, but weather did not permit. You are heavily in our hearts today be it here or there. Love you and thank you for all the good things you did. Rest in peace Tony.
Love, Les and Mary Ann.

Tony was the best, he helped me so much as I got in the music business in 1985. Always there to help and most important, he was just a wonderful person. He was the only Bear fan I really liked....
....Tony you WILL be missed
