Aunt Jane, Gina, and John, We are very sorry for the loss of uncle Anthony. It is so sad he is no longer with us but he will always be remembered. He, like all his sibling had great character and smarts. It is an honor to have known him and spend time with him at family events. Thinking of you all during this tough time. I wish we could be there with you guys. Love you.
Love,
Joseph and Maria
Mike, Michaela and I send our love and prayers to you all and wish we could be with you this weekend. As I watched the video, amid tears and huge smiles, I saw a man filled with happiness and love. That is how I will remember him. I always admired Uncle Anthony, his integrity, generosity and kindness.
My father always said we were so alike in many ways and I took pride in that. We always seemed to put things off but we always got the job done and done well. We loved paper. We could never be satisfied with a computer file we still needed that hard copy or maybe even 2 copies. I remember telling Uncle Anthony I was going to try and go paperless in the office and he should do the same. Haha pretty sure neither of us fully succeeded in that.
I was happy to spend the last few years before his retirement working with him in JC. We enjoyed great lunches and walks together. To this day, I don’t know how I would ever be able remember all those years of knowledge. I was forever calling him to pick his brain and he was extremely patient with me. There were days I called him way too many times.
I will never forget he and Uncle Dan driving all the way to SC to spend time with my dad before he passed away. Remembering old times and even learning a few new things were precious to me. Thank you both.
I also remember the ski trip and how honored i was to be invited to your wedding. These are just a few of my many memories that i will hold dear to my heart. I will miss him terribly. Love you all.
My condolences to Aunt Jane, Gina, and John. Uncle Anthony will always be a special person to our family. Many Easters and family gathering were always made special. He will be greatly missed
Our heartfelt condolences to Jane on Tony's
passing. We really got to know Tony when he and
Jane volunteered to help with our yearly Cancer
Walk. They set up for refreshmants, walked, and
cleaned up. Tony and Jane were always some of the last people to leave. Tony was always pleasant and
was a true gentleman. He will be sorely missed.

Deepest sympathies to Aunt Jane, Gina, Christian, John, Megan and the grandchildren on behalf of Charlotte, Alana, Cara & myself upon Uncle Anthony's passing this week. He was a calming presence amidst the chaos that the greater Morro clan can certainly be, at certain times, that is. Uncle Anthony was a consummate "gentle man"-no question about it. Two memories from my childhood that remain with me regarding Uncle Anthony: One-his sitting through what had to be the LONGEST Confirmation event in history (at St. Charles Borromeo Church in Cinnaminson) as the sponsor for my Brother Tom (remember, I was like 11 years old at the time). What patience & grace he showed then-but he was SO proud to be standing in for his nephew. Two-his inviting about 8 or 10 (or 12?) of his nieces and nephews for a ski outing in New Milford as part of the Palisades Club one Saturday (pre Aunt Jane). I know that Uncle Anthony didn't get much quality slope time on that adventure-he was doing everything he could to prevent my cousins and I from severely injuring ourselves (or some innocent skiing passer by). I never did learn to ski very well-but, I recall that the food and drinks and snacks in the lodge were awesome. Thanks a bunch, Uncle Anthony-lots more remembrances to come from the Morro Crew, I am sure. We all will miss your smile, warmth, sincerity and love here-but, have the comfort of knowing that our clan is growing in numbers both in this life and the next. Save a seat at the card table for your brother, Aunt & Uncles.
My father, Joe Rinaldi, always told stories of the Palisades Ski club and summers at the Jersey shore with the boys from Hudson County. Goofy pictures and goofy stories make great memories. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

When my daughter Megan married Tony’s son John, one of the many blessings that came to me was getting to know Tony. I admired Tony’s kindness, gentle nature, and genuine goodness. Condolences to Jane, Gina, and John and to all his family members and friends who like me will miss him greatly.
Sincere condolences to Jane and the family. Tony was a kind and gentle man that I thoroughly enjoyed being a pickle partner with.
He was a true gentleman in all senses of the word with qualities that I would still like to replicate in my life. My fondest memory of Mr. Morro was a simple, yet profound talk about how much he loved being among the trees at the old house in Middletown. When they got a new back deck, he proudly showed me how much closer he felt to the trees. I shall miss him and think of him everyday. My condolences to Mrs. Morro, John and Gina and their respective families.
My memory will always be that of the coolest, kindest and most generous person that graced this Earth. Uncle Anthony, you will be missed by all of us in this great big Morro family. May your journey to the afterlife be swift and peaceful as I believe the gates of Heaven couldn’t open up fast enough to receive you. To Aunt Jane, Gina, John, and family, I am so incredibly sorry for your loss and the pain you will endure, please know I am thinking of you and praying for your peace.
To Jane and all your family,
We are so sorry for your loss of Tony. We feel very lucky to have known Tony and you all these years. He was a wonderful man who always made you feel special whenever you saw him.
May he rest in peace and may your fond memories of him bring you comfort.
Fondly,
Bill and Lucille Herten
Jane, I am so sorry for your loss. Any time is difficult to lose a loved one, but this time of year makes it even more difficult. My prayers are with you and your family.Y
From the first time I met Uncle Anthony he was so kind to me. I'm so proud that he was an Uncle to Mark and I and a wonderful great Uncle to Lawton, Logan and Liv. We will miss him dearly...his beautiful smile and his positive out look on life. I know we have a special angel watching over us :)

I'm so very sorry to hear of Tony's passing. He was a wonderful man, always friendly and smiling. He will be missed.
Tony was a wonderful man. We feel blessed to have known him for the past 12 years. Our thoughts and prayers are with all the family.

Tony was a wonderful man. He was kind, always smiling, and a great neighbor. Gus and I loved to see him riding his bike in the neighborhood. Jane and family, I am so sorry for your loss. Cherish the memories of his life and the good times. He will live in your hearts forever.
Jane so sorry to hear about Tony’s passing. Hold your memories close.
It was an honor to know Tony. What a wonderful example he set for all he met. We have fond memories of working with him on the St Vincent DePaul group. His generous donation of time and energy to the group was truly inspirational. It was always nice bumping into him during a neighborhood walk. The famous Christmas and Easter train breakfasts provide wonderful, lasting memories. Thank you, Tony, for all of these. Our deepest condolences are offered to Jane and all his blessed family.

Jane,
My interactions with Tony over the past ten years I have lived in Equestra were regrettably few in number. But the quantity of time spent with Tony was not necessary for me to recognize and admire the quality of the person he was. For years, I saw Tony display his loving-kindness while donating blood at Equestra's annual blood drive. I witnessed his kindness and generosity of spirit. He was a gentle soul. You and all your loved ones were blessed to have him in your life.
May Tony's memory also be a blessing to all of you.
