February 25, 2026To all the De Virgilio family, I am so very sorry to hear about Tony’s death. Such a wonderful man and a fantastic role example to his family. He and Melinda invited me to their home on several occasions and made me feel very welcome. I am sending love especially to Melinda, their family, Nona and to all his brothers and sisters especially my connection to the family – Lorenzzo, Vanessa, Leah and Breanna. Taken too young. Love Freda in Geelong.
