Tony and Mary were dear friends in the long ago past. They were even Godparents to son Chris. Lovely people…sure to be missed
Tony was my Godfather. I always thought it was cool to tell people that I’ve got a Godfather named Tony Battaglia; folks thought I was connected and protected. I’ll never forget that Tony and Mary Lou gave me a train set for my birthday. That was a big deal for me as a boy. Tony came out to Fonner Park once when I was calling the horse races. He and my dad Joe found the way to the winner’s circle. And I announced his name and really layed on the Godfather, Tony Battaglia shtick. We were both proud of that – Dad too.
Good guy, old school, nice memories.
Love, Chris Kotulak
Michael, Kathy, Shari, Margaret, Mark and families: so saddened by the passing of your father but on the other hand rejoicing over the reunion of your mother and father. I loved them both and know you all will miss them terribly; along with many left to mourn their passing left on this earth. God bless, and take care of each other.🙏💝💝🙏🙏
My prayers to all of the family! The heavens have gained the big man, Mr.Battaglia, the dancing and singing have begun. All my love, Sonya Otte
