We are so very happy and fortunate we got to meet Mr.Vanacore Senior for several years. Always smiling and making those around him smile as well. Very easy to see how Mike became who he is today who I am glad to call one of my best friends. Mr Vanacore Senior will be missed by many, a gentleman like few. We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers during these sad times. The Borgh Family

Tony Vanacore was like a grandfather to me. I always wanted the seat next to him at dinners :). He had the most amazing heart and loved people from the depths of his soul. He was so generous in everyway, and he was an example to all who knew him. He always had a kind word, always had a funny story, always had a sideways glance when he thought you were a bit crazy, and always had room in his heart for you. He definitely gave more than he received in his life, and I do not think he would have it any other way. He was one of the greatest men I have ever known, and he will be in my heart forever and always. I will never, ever, ever forget him. It was an honor to have known this gentleman. xoxo

He is now in the better place with his wonderful wife. Tony is not gone because we all have our memories of this incredible man. My love to Toni, Michael and Pat and the rest of his family. Bonnie

The world is a little worse place today because there is one less good man alive. My dad was a wonderful husband and a great father and father-in-law. He was generous to a fault and could never do enough for his family and friends. He lived a good, long life and left without regrets. He was one of the few remaining survivors of the greatest generation but he leaves many friends behind. His passing leaves a gap in my life and a hole in my heart. Rest in peace Dad. I love you.
