To the Pagliughi family .

My condolences to you all. July 5 1980 I started my apprenticeship at Alliance Woodworking. Within my first year working for Antonio he put me into the machine room. I left Alliance in 1987 when they closed the shop and moved to New Jersey as Pilot Woodworking . I worked at various shops till 1991, December 1991 I again worked for Antonio at Midhattan Woorking . I am for grateful for working for Antonio for all those years . I still have the Hat from Alliance Working I found at my late mothers.

Paluighi Family:

I was one of Tony's apprentices roughly 98-02 in Kenilworth.

So many memories of him. He was a terrific teacher, craftsman, and knowledgeable about the world of Architectural Millwork. I feel very fortunate to have had such a wonderful instructor. Without a doubt he touched the lives of a generation of woodworkers.

While no memory in particular jumps out, I can say that he always made me feel proud and excited to be a Union Cabinetmaker.

Please accept my sincere condolences at this heartfelt moment.
