I was only a little girl when we all lived in the three family house on 1260 Townsend Ave barely 5 when we left there...but during those 5 short years, I gained many happy memories of my cousin. Anthony (Tony), or as we referred to him "Uncle Jimmy's Anthony" (so we wouldn't get all the cousin "Anthony's" missed up), was gentle in spirit, soft spoken and, like the rest of the Zampano's, funny but in a more subtle way. I also remember he liked to play the guitar during some of the family jam sessions at the wonderful parties and get togethers down in the basement of 1260 Townsend Ave...as an adult, I remember most recently of his kindness in checking in on my brother when he was admitted to St. Raphael's and calling back to my mom and I to say , "don't worry, he'll be alright, I'll check on him before I go home". We will miss you Anthony...always in our hearts...to Beatrice, Anthony Debra and all those who loved him, our thoughts and prayers are with you...Aunt Rose Zampano, cousins Richard and Teresa Zampano (Bratcher) and husband Darin Bratcher.
