In Loving Memory of

Anthony Richard Cacio (May 5, 1979 - June 13, 2006)

This memorial website was created to remember our dearest Anthony Richard Cacio who was born in Connecticut Meriden on May 5, 1979 and passed away on June 13, 2006. You will live forever in our memories and hearts.

My Dear Brother,

I loved you in life and now I honor you in death.

Always,

Renee

Your head is humming and it won't go in case you don't know The piper's calling you to join him Dear lady can't you hear the wind blow and did you know Your stairway lies on the whispering wind -Led Zeppelin

I said to Life, I would hear Death speak. And Life raised her voice a little higher and said, You hear him now.

Kahlil Gibran

I am Free Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free

I am following the path God laid for me. I took His hand when I heard Him call,

I turned my back and left it all. I could not stay another day

to laugh, to love, to work or play. Tasks left undone must stay that way.

I found that peace at the close of the day. If parting has left a void,

Then fill it with remembered joy. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss Ah, these things I, too, will miss.

Be not burdened with time of sorrow, I wish for you the sunshine of tomorrow.

My life's been full, I savored much. Good friends, good times,

a loved one touched. Perhaps my time seemed all too brief

Don't lengthen it now with undue grief. Lift up your heart and share with me. God wanted me now; He set me free.

T

Waiting to hear from you. It's been a year, seems like years.

Many thoughts everyday go along with the tears.

I watch the sky only fooling myself that I can see your face, your smile. Knowing here on earth no more.

Gone with the wind to live with the Lord.

Lent to me your father at birth.

To heaven you went,with your true father. And all it's worth.

A verse from our family song. Where did you go, I miss you so. Seems like it's been forever. PLEASE

COME BACK HOME.

WE MISS YOU SO.

-Dad

THE FRAY LYRICS

"How To Save A Life"

Step one you say we need to talk

He walks you say sit down it's just a talk

He smiles politely back at you

You stare politely right on through

Some sort of window to your right

As he goes left and you stay right

Between the lines of fear and blame

And you begin to wonder why you came

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend

Somewhere along in the bitterness

And I would have stayed up with you all night

Had I known how to save a life

Let him know that you know best

Cause after all you do know best

Try to slip past his defense

Without granting innocence

Lay down a list of what is wrong

The things you've told him all along

And pray to God he hears you

And pray to God he hears you

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend

Somewhere along in the bitterness

And I would have stayed up with you all night

Had I known how to save a life

As he begins to raise his voice

You lower yours and grant him one last choice

Drive until you lose the road

Or break with the ones you've followed

He will do one of two things

He will admit to everything

Or he'll say he's just not the same

And you'll begin to wonder why you came

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend

Somewhere along in the bitterness

And I would have stayed up with you all night

Had I known how to save a life

Cely Look up and smile June 18, 2007

My dear Renee,

I'm sure that Tony is having a great time with Danny, David and all the others who parted before us. They are in the best place anyone would want to be. No pain, no sadness, no problems...They all deserve the best and that is what they have now. It is so hard not to see them any more but God gives us what we need to help us live a day at a time with the hope that some day we will again be together. You have done such a great job with this web site that Tony is smiling eveytime someone opens it and looks at the great memories you have put together here.

Look up and smile, he can see you and with every ray of light comes a smile from him to you too and at night that big big star that shines so bright is there to tell you that so is he, shining back at you...look up and smile. God Bless, Cely

Bridget: Keith Elwart Angel's June 15, 2007

You sound like a Great sister to Anthony. We are so lucky to have had Anthony and Keith in our live's. Take Care of You!

Love Bridget!

HI T, Miss you : )

Hey T

Happy New Year.

Remember Dad and Uncle J with the bugle...can you say never eat the worm..lol

We had some really happy times. I'm sorry things got tough. I wish I could have fixed it for you, I wish that more than you'll ever know.

Tony

Another year almost over. Life doesn't get any easier as the years pass. Alaways another hurtle or test of strength and neither does missing you. You have been there so much for me this year as you always were when I needed your support . I never thought that being Auntie Moe to you ,Jason, Peggy and Renee would mean so much. You guys never asked for anything but love and respect for who you are and that was an easy thing for me to do. I hope all of you know how much you mean to me . Tony I would love be

Renee

Renee

able to give yiou a great big hug and thanks that you could feel and hear other than listening to me in my mind. But now I just want to thank all of you for being a part of my life . We've had so many great times laughing together and sometimes crying. I have and will always be there for you guys. I hope you all know that you can count on me.

Love you all !

Auntie Moe

I'm so excited T, I remember when we were kids seeing all the presents under the tree..it was a big thrill. I can't wait to see that thrill in Carter's eyes. It's those moments that life is worth going through all the shit.

ujsjs rerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr....June says hi .....she's my terror.vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv

jackie "your homegirl forever"

Auntie Moe and Uncle Jig

Life is really hard without you. Sometimes I sit and cry all by myself, sometimes I share my grief....it's hard ,really hard. We all miss you so much and the love we have for you will never die. I think that's why the pain won't either. It get s harder T, it's just so freakin hard.

I have so many memories of as kids, as young adults and adults..I want more. I would give years of my life to have one minute of yours back. I can here your laughter in my head as I type this, I know that you are in an amazing place, with amazing people and one day too I will be there with you. As for now my baby bro I ask you to keep visiting me and help me through the tough times, you know what I'm saying to you...we talk all the time...

i remember the last time you and i talked. it had been a while and we had a lot of catching up to do. i believe the conversation was about 2 and a half ,almost 3 hrs long. we actually shocked ourselves!! =) you were planning on going up to visit peggy and we were going to go out together that weekend. life happens whether we want it to or not and plans fell through but i at least have the memory of the last thing we said to each other. "i miss you and love you very much!" you couldn't have left me with anything better!!! xoxoxo

Tony,

We will never understand why you were taken from us and we still cry tears of sadness but you are still with us only in a different way. A few weeks ago we asked for your help I needed your strength and you came through. Thanks for 11/16/07. Last Sunday I asked you for a favor when your uncle was busting my ass and even then you delivered. Good one. As you know we laughed our butts off.

Uncle Jig always said that if he had to send me into a war zone and I had you and Jason by my side he would not have to worry. Now that I have one by my side here and you looking over me I can never fail. Everytime we lift our glasses and toast you it is done with love and respect and we know you are with

us. Don't forget New Years Eve we will all be here and it is partly due to your support that we will be able to have this celebration. This years party is dedicated to you and your everlasting love that we feel everyday.

Mssing you everyday

Love always

Auntie Moe and Uncle Jiggy

Just sitting here thinking of you!

My tears could build a river today,believing your gone is still very hard for me.

Carter starts soccer tomorrow, it reminds me of watching you and Jay play when we were kids.

Monica's wedding was beautiful, I know you were there, I could feel you.

Stay with us, I am always here for you.

Family

Hey T...

Was in the grocery store the other day and just filled up with tears. I know they say it gets better, but I'm afraid this hole is to huge to fill. I MISS you so freakin much!!

FORT MINOR "Where'd You Go?"

Where'd you go?

I miss you so,

Seems like it's been forever,

That you've been gone.

She said "Some days I feel like sh**,

Some days I wanna quit, and just be normal for a bit,"

I don't understand why you have to always be gone,

I get along but the trips always feel so long,

And, I find myself trying to stay by the phone,

'Cause your voice always helps me to not feel so alone,

But I feel like an idiot, workin' my day around the call,

But when I pick up I don't have much to say,

So, I want you to know it's a little f*** up,

That I'm stuck here waitin', at times debatin',

Tellin' you that I've had it with you and your career,

Me and the rest of the family here singing "Where'd you go?"

I miss you so,

Seems like it's been forever,

That you've been gone.

Where'd you go?

I miss you so,

Seems like it's been forever,

That you've been gone,

Please come back home...

You know the place where you used to live,

Used to barbecue up burgers and ribs,

Used to have a little party every Halloween with candy by the pile,

But now, you only stop by every once and a while,

Sh**, I find myself just fillin' my time,

With anything to keep the thought of you from my mind,

I'm doin' fine, I plan to keep it that way,

You can call me if you find that you have something to say,

And I'll tell you, I want you to know it's a little f*** up,

That I'm stuck here waitin', at times debatin',

Tellin' you that I've had it with you and your career,

Me and the rest of the family here singing "Where'd you go?"

I miss you so,

Seems like it's been forever,

That you've been gone.

Where'd you go?

I miss you so,

Seems like it's been forever,

That you've been gone,

Please come back home...

I want you to know it's a little f*** up,

That I'm stuck here waitin', no longer debatin',

Tired of sittin' and hatin' and makin' these excuses,

For why you're not around, and feeling so useless,

It seems one thing has been true all along,

You don't really know what you've got 'til it's gone,

I guess I've had it with you and your career,

When you come back I won't be here and you can sing it...

Where'd you go?

I miss you so,

Seems like it's been forever,

That you've been gone.

Where'd you go?

I miss you so,

Big Sis

Renee

Seems like it's been forever,

That you've been gone,

Please come back home...

Please come back home...

Please come back home...

Please come back home...

Please come back home...

We buried you on Father's Day last year. Tough day for Dad today, you were his favorite NOW I AM Ha ha ha..just kidding T.

I remember looking at you thinking this can't be real, I remeber Jay almost collapsing, Mom sobbing, Peggy shaking, Dad a rock. It's hard without you. Your smile, your laughter... I loved your laugh. I only realized after you passed looking at pictures that we have the same smile.

Miss you!

Peggy looks likes you haven't seen her....be proud, baby bro, she loves you!

Jay say's HI

big sis

Renee

NO HE HAS NOT CHANGED!(BUT YET HE REALLY HAS : ) )

Remeber spreading poopy every where?? Mom cried and Peg and I bathed you both...ah the good old days! By the way T... could you tell June to stop digging in her diaper! PLEASE : )

The day before your 1 yr I bought myself a ring, the color of your eyes, June's eyes, Jason's eyes. Jay told me tonight you loved the

color, he just had surgery and is doing great. I named my ring T-Touch because it means strength and you are my strength. I miss you everday. Jay and I are good, he has helped my through the last year more than anyone, maybe because he is a part of you.

Love Ya

Your Family

Renee

I was lucky enough to have Tony come visit me in March 2006. Having him here and seeing him with his kids warmed my heart. We spent a day in DC and the weekend relaxing. He was the happiest I had ever seen him. He talked about his job and his family with great pride. I was so lucky to have that time with him and I am so glad I embraced it the way I did. I had never felt so close to him, we talked on the phone all the time after that and I loved that his kids finally got to know Auntie Nay.

One of my fondest memories was watching him and Jeff talk on the deck, they talk for an hour or so, the next day Jeff said to me "Wow Tony has really changed", and he had.

Tony had a heart of gold. When Uncle David was sick Tony called everyday to talk to him and he let Uncle Dave plan his life and indulge in stories of money, cars, and being the head of the family. The next time I would see my brother was at Uncle Dave's funeral. His heart was broken and he looked like a lost little boy.

I know that my brother and uncle are together and that gives me a huge sense of peace.

RIP

Life Storyevery hour, every thought, every smile...

June 13, 2007

June 13, 2007

Born in Connecticut Meriden on May 5, 1979.

Passed away on June 13, 2006.

Tony lived his life as 1 of 2, an identical twin to his brother Jason.

Tony was born prematurely, his lungs were under developed and he could barely eat. He started his life as he lived it, a fighter.

The twins as we called them were a force to be reckoned with, just ask Mom and Dad they could tell you story after story.

A geeky kid with big glasses blossomed into this wild young man. I spent the better part of my life bailing him out and worrying about him. Tony was a legend in his own mind.

The wild young man grew into a loving father, to little T(Tony) and Juju(Julie). Tony was so proud of them and he loved them with all his heart.

Tony died on June 13th 2006. A life lived like no other.

This is just a glimpse of Tony, remember him as a fighter, a geeky kid, wild young man and most of all a Loving Father.
