I am so sorry to find out about the death of Coach Fornataro. I played football at Central York High School back in mid 70s and he was my coach. He was my favorite teacher and coach back in those days. He was great role model for my brother Tim and I. He taught me a lot about lifting weights and life in general and how to treat people. Only had him for a coach a short period of time but will always remember him. God Bless you and your family.

Hello Todd,
How wonderful it is to hear from you after all these years. I remember both you and your brother. You were both in Tony’s words “outstanding young men”. Thank you for your kind words about Tony. He loved teaching and coaching. I am pleased to hear that he touched your life, if only in a small way.
I wish you a happy life.
Regards,
Kathy

My sympathy to you and your entire family on the loss of Anthony. While we only met once, our mothers were first cousins. Please extend my sympathy to Lucy. My mom was Pauline Haney from Newark NY. I believe my parents visited Anthony's parents in Hazleton while Anthony and I were students at Bucknell. His tribute reveals him to be a remarkable man who accomplished so much in life and continued to live a life with much love and purpose. My sincere condolences to you and your family. Mary Muffly

Sorry I am so late in sending my condolences. I really had a difficult time accepting Tony's passing. He was an amazing man. He was a true gentleman. An amazing family man. A devoted father and loving son. His dedication to his community was exemplary. He was passionate and loving in his life and work. He has inspired me to be a better person in my everyday life. It was my privilege to have known him and a true gift to call him a friend.
