Sheila & family,
I have such a vivid memory of Tony from a camping trip with Sheila, John, Tony, Michael, me & my two sons, Ryan & Nathan McCabe. We went to Washington, DC. The kids ranged from 10-15 and, as boys are at that age, they were full of spirit and looking for fun!! We had THE best time! I haven't seen Tony in quite a while but kept up with his life through Sheila.
Full of spirit, looking to get the most out of life, that's how I remember Tony.
"Whenever I miss you, I just look in my heart and there you are!" I heard someone say this recently, and I know it's not a consolation, but I'm sure you know that Tony is in your heart forever.
I'll keep you in my prayers.

Stone,
We had a love the other people dreamed about - always three deep. If we were any closer, we would have been attached. You were my brother and my friend and I truly believe you were the smartest guy in Jersey. I will miss calling you to answer my questions and telling you I love you. I was so proud of you. You were on top of the world. I looked up to you. You have no idea how much Mike and I miss you. We were supposed to grow old together. I still feel you around me. Mike and I want you to live your life through our eyes now. You may be gone, but you will never be forgotten. See you when I see you.
I love you like always.
Your Brother, John</b></font><br><br>

I want to let the Povernick and extended family know, how sorry I am to hear of your loss. I was friends with Tony many years ago, going back to "Our Lady of Mt. Carmel" :). After reading some of the things people have written about Tony; I know the Tony I remember, was still the very same person.
It is a true loss to your family and anyone’s life that Tony touched. May you feel the comfort knowing he is in truly a much better place.</b></font><br><br>

Tony was always great with putting words on paper...that never came so easy for me, but I'm going to give it my best shot. Over the past few days, all I can think about was that I lost my best friend. I guess I just always took something that simple for granted. I thought everybody had a best friend like Tony. Tony would do anything for anyone at anytime. As hardheaded as he was, he had one of the biggest hearts out of anyone I know. There was never a favor left undone, he was always there. Tony was like my third brother. John the fourth, Mikey the fifth. When Al, Crit and I hung out with the Povernick boys we were six brothers who often referred to ourselves as the "Cedarbrook Posse". One of the many memories I have of our "Posse Days" was when Tony dyed his hair and we called him Pony Boy. One of my best memories with Tony was golf. Every morning that we golfed, we met at my house. Tony would always show up with WaWa coffee and muffins for everyone. It could be as early at 5:30 am and we would stand in my driveway and tell stories and laugh. Tara, who would be sleeping, would call my cell phone and tell me to tell Tony to stop laughing so loud. Tony had the most hardiest laugh around. I will miss that very much. Another thing that we would laugh about was how Tony's golf bag weighed 150lbs. He was the only guy I knew who could fit a 30 pack in his golf bag. I will miss golfing with him once a week, our Myrtle Beach trips, and the golf outings. I really don't want to elaborate on our golf scores, because we were a bunch of hackers, but we always had fun being out there together. Tony was a very bright, intelligent guy. He was so smart that I passed English in our junior year of high school. He used to say that he was the smartest guy in NJ. There was one thing I could never figure out, though. I didn't understand how the smartest guy in NJ could listen to hard-core gangster rap. Every time I got into his truck my ears would be filled with alot of "F words", "whose your mom", "sawed off shot gun". I could go on and on if I could only understand what the heck they were saying. I was still waiting to see when he would grow out of that music, but that was Tony. Tony was also such a great family guy. There was nothing or no one that could come between him and his family. Every time Tony hung up the phone or left in person, he would always tell his mom, pop and brothers how he loved them. I admired Tony for wearing his heart on his sleeve. John and Mikey...Tony was such a lucky guy have two brothers like you. You were three deep. Kim...Tony always raved about you being the sister he never had. Kathy...Tony always loved your cooking and spending time with the family on Sundays. Tony's mom...you were one of his biggest supporters. You have helped him through many hard times and he told me that he love you for that. Tony's Pop...your one rare breed. You don't find dads like you around. Tony was a fortunate son to have a dad like you. Speaking of family...it was hard for me to choose between my two brothers to be the best man in my wedding. It was only natural to pick Tony to fill the important role. Tony was a great best man. He gave the most special and touching speech at our wedding, he was by my side the entire day and he loved my wife almost more than I did...which made me nervous sometimes. These past few months, I have seen a different Tony. He shined. He fell in love with a beautiful girl named Kelly. He called me a few months ago and said, "Squal, I think this is the one. I really want you and Tara to meet her". I knew how special she must have been to him because in 9 years, Tara and I have never double dated with Tony. We really enjoyed our time with Kelly. She was everything Tony bragged about and we will miss her very much. To wrap things up, I guess I can start by saying that this was the worst week of my life. I lost my brother, my best friend, my best man, and my biggest fan. As I put on my suit this morning I started aimlessly wondering why I had to put my best friend Tony to rest. Every time I see a black Dodge truck I'll look to see if it's my best friend Tony. Every time I see a Harley, I'll look to see if it's my best friend Tony. Every time I see a golf cart, I'll look to see if my best friend Tony's in it. Every time my cell phone rings, I am going to be hoping it's my best friend Tony. I guess our time with him is up. He moved on to touch other's lives and to live in peace. I can only say how much I love you and will miss you, Lou. There is no doubt in my mind that I know I will see you again on the other side and we will pick up right where we left off....Love always, your best friend Squal xo</b></font><br><br>

I was one of the lucky ones who got to know Tony. I was even luckier because I had the honor of calling him my brother after marrying John. I remember one time I said, "I love you brother-in-law." He replied, "I hate that, don't call me brother-in-law, call me brother. I am your brother and you are my sister." He was right. In every way possible, Tony was my brother. Not only did he always treat me with respect, but he always showed me that he loved me by talking with me, giving me advice, making me laugh, taking my side, helping me, and protecting me. Around him, I felt as protected as I feel with my own husband John. He would have done anything for me and I would have done anything for him. I am grateful that I was touched by the gift of his love. Thank you Tony for loving me. Thank you for being my brother. My gift to you will be the promise that I will love John, support John, comfort John, and help John continue on with thoughts of you in our minds and our hearts everyday we live. I love you. Forever your sister, Kim.</b></font><br><br>

Tony was an awesome person to be around. He always made you laugh, and made sure to bring a smile to your face. There was not a time when Tony could not lift everyones spirits. It was almost as if he lived for that, and lived to make people happy. Our words can not express how deeply he will be missed. Our heart goes out to both the Povernick and Reighn families as you will now forever be in our prayers. Tony is up above with our brother Jason now, both shining their light and strength down on us. They will forever be our guardian angels. May God Bless Tony and all of his family and friends.

Bonnadanno-
Words cannot express the sorrow that I feel inside. My heart aches everytime I look around my house and see your work. It aches when I have to look at Pat's broken spirit. It aches because I know that I will never see you again. I miss you, Tone. I know it sounds selfish to say, but I really do miss you. Please know how important you were to me. You were the only other person who knew Pat as well as me. He is heart broken and so am I. We will never forget all of the great times we had and the memories that we made. I can still remember the last time I saw you and what you said to me. I will never forget that. Please take care of our little baby in heaven. We know it's with you... I love you and miss you more than you know...Until we meet again.....Love- Tara

Tony was my true friend for many years. No matter how our lifestyles changed he was always there for me. All the memories I have with him are good times that are full of laughter. My family and I will miss Tony very much. We will never forget him and are thankful for the time we got to spend with him. I feel alot of pain inside for the Povernick family, he is a big loss. I will always be there for them as I was for Tony. Tony's final days were full of happiness and love, and thats how I will remember him.</b></font><br><br>

Tony,
As time passes by you are truly missed more and more. You are either talked about, thought about, or prayed to everyday. Dom misses his riding buddy and friend. Our daughter Jade adds your name to her prayers before she goes to bed each night. Dominic and Jagger are too young to know anything but for their birthday we went to build-a-bear and they made a dog each. Dominic made a dog named Lou and Jagger make a yellow lab named Tony. They picked these names and dogs all by themselves. I swear you were with us that night. Every V-Rod we see they ask, Why doesn't Tony stop to see us anymore? We tell them that he does stop you just have to stop and feel him in your heart. We pray for your family and wish that we could do more. There will be an empty space in the trailer this May for Mrtyle Beach, it is reserved in your memory. No one can take your place. We will keep you alive in spirit. Thanks for allowing us to know you. We love you. Dominic & Karen Pinto</b></font><br><br>

To the Family.
Our Thoughts and prayers are with you. We understand all the emotions you are feelings. We lost our daughter Michelle in April of this year. No parent should have this to deal with.
Our family knew Tony thru his brother John. They where truly best friends and thier love showed. Tony always was respectful to us and we were so sorry to hear of your loss.
The words are so hard to express. Nothing seems to help so I will hope you can find some comfort knowing that others are thinking of you and are including you in our prayers.
Shelia, if you would like to reach me please feel free to e-mail me. I have found a couple of websites that have helped me some to continue on.

Tony was always such a pleasure to have around. His laughter always filled the room, and you couldn't help but smile. It was so nice to see how happy Al was when Tony was around. I remember telling Tony that Al & I were having a baby. He gave me such a big hug. And when Alex Jr. was born, Tony showed up with flowers. Every Christmas, Tony would come over to check out the toys and bring Eagles gear for the boys. When we would hear Tony pull in the driveway (on his Harley) Little Alex would run out to see him, then say "Uncle Tony is so cool!" He was such a polite an caring person. Little Alex says "I miss Tony so much" everyday. We are all so lucky to have such a great person like Tony looking over us.</b></font><br><br>

As I sat there in bed sunday night all I could think of were the MANY memories of Tony and the family. And like everyone else whose life was touched by Tony there is always a smile & a laugh. One of the many that comes to mind is the time in outer banks when Tony, Mike, little Debbie and I were sitting around the table playing a drinking game & than had the bright idea to go swimming, well needless to say Tony & I were the only ones really in the water & the only ones naked (or was that just me) while Michael tried from preventing us going in too far. Back on the beach I jumped in front of him & screamed "WOO WHOO" we just laughed & laughed! the best part he didn't even remember the next day! The Povernicks have always been so special to me & welcomed me w/ open arms to their family & made me feel like a daughter & sister. I'll always be grateful for all the memories. I'm even more greatful for Tony touching my heart! MY heart is just broken for the family & really anyone whose Tony heart has touched- You will forever be in my heart and prayes. He'll never be really gone if we keep him alive in our hearts and memories I Love You Stone XOXO Dish</b></font><br><br>

I was so sorry to hear of Tony's passing. I worked with Tony at Sear's Hardware in Cherry Hill, where he was manager for a short time. I was a cashier in customer service and worked there for about 2 years. He always said "Hello" when he came in and "Thank you" when you left. That was unusual to say the least. We were all very sorry when he left Sear'but knew he was going on to better things. We all missed his 'Yeah, baby' mantra all day long, and I know he's "The Man" in heaven now.</b></font><br><br>

MY MOTHERLY WAYS TOOK OVER SOMETIMES BUT I KNEW THE RELATIONSHIP WAS SPECIAL AND IT WAS ONE HAPPY FAMILY. HE WAS SPECIAL FOR HIS SMILE, LAUGHTER, RESPECT AND LOVE.

I would like to send my condolences to the family & friends of Tony. I went to high school with Tony & had the opportunity to spend alot of time with him. He was always the comedian and you were guaranteed to laugh when you were around him - he was such a nut. Although I haven't seen him in a while, from what I hear he hasn't changed. I'm truely glad that I had the opportunity to know him.

I got to work with Tony at Minotola Bank. Tony was absolutely the NICEST and sweetest guy ever!
We were usually around each other in the midst of some conversion or work crisis, but Tony’s calming presence always reassured us. We just knew everything would be ok if Tony was there.
In the midst of our freak-out sessions, Tony would either make some crack that made us all laugh or he would say something so logical, we couldn’t argue with him.
Tony was one of those people it was a joy to be around. He made life’s ordinary struggles tolerable, he made the day better. He was the most dedicated and hardworking man. We all relied on him and we don’t know how we’ll make it without him. He’s simply irreplaceable.
And I just worked with him. If he made us love him this much, I can’t even fathom how his family must be feeling at these moments. To them, I send my prayers and my love. To Tony, I pray you know how much you meant to us and how sorely you will be missed. I take these moments to remember and celebrate you and what you meant to me. I thank God I was allowed to cross paths with you. I’ll never forget you. Love, Becky</b></font><br><br>

Tony was a great person. No matter what time of day or night Tony will always help out the Eberly family. I spent so many years hanging around him. I was one of his golf partners. I would get that call during the week asking if we are playing and the answer was always yes. I picked him up to meet the other guys at the course. I can see day in and day out him walking out of the garage with that big smile on his face. Tony you do not know how much you meant to us and it is going to be a hard gap to fill on that golf course. We will miss you dearly and we love you.
Love Always,
