Umpa, You were and always will be, my best friend, my confidant, my biggest supporter, my hero, and guiding light. I will cherish every episode of MASH, and all the little nothings that meant everything to me. I love you forever.

Tony and Carol were our good friends from wintering in FL. The first thing I remember about Tony was sharing his love of boiled peanuts with us of which we were not as big of fan of as he was. Bob rigged up his cane with a fishing line and a bobber. Bob told Tony it was his “cane pole”. After that Tony always called Bob “Cane Pole Bob”. Eternal rest grant unto them O, Lord.

The first time I met my great, great uncle Tony he acted as if he had known me forever. He was way more enthralled seeing my Nana (Annette) for the first time in a long time. They hugged and cried and you couldn’t help but feel the love in the room. I’m disappointed I only got to meet him once as he only came across as a great man, but I am fortunate I got that single afternoon in Tammy’s bakery. Sending my condolences to cousin Tammy and family as they navigate this trying time.
With love,

Thursday was a very sad day. We lost our family patriarch - Kevin's father - Tony Contestabile - whom we both call "Dad", and my boys (along with all the grandchildren) have always affectionately called "Umpa". Dad had been struggling for a while with some health issues, but it became really difficult after we lost Mom a couple year's ago. He has missed her so, so much. Together, they were such a great example of true love - both for each other, and for ALL their family.
Now, they are together again. No more pain and needles and doctors for Dad. No more missing "his Honey". I am thankful for that. I'm also thankful we had Dad in our lives as long as we did, and I selfishly admit that I wish it could've been a bit longer...
He has been a wonderful father, father-in-law. He's been the best "Umpa"/grandfather you could ask for to our boys. I appreciate that even more, since losing my own father just before Dylan was born. We will all miss Dad/Umpa, and his little jokes, immensely. We are heartbroken without him... but, how lucky were we to have had him, and his love, in our lives? The love goes on. ❤
