Andy,
Thank you so very much for your kindness during this difficult time.
It’s been a long time since we’ve chatted. Thank you for remembering my Dad. Please keep in touch.
Jean and Family,
What a fine gentleman has passed. As a young boy I was in Trello’s regularly with my dad, Ned Wilson. He stopped their daily for my mom to get groceries. After my dad passed, I still frequented the store for the signature turkey sub. The code was “turkey, cut it”. That was all that had to be said. My family was always treated kindly by Tony, you and all that worked there. What an accomplished, energetic and warm gentleman. He will be missed.

My condolence to the Trello family, Tony was such a wonderful man. I grew up just around the corner from the store. Tony nick-named me Baa-Doo. Many good memories of the Trellos will remain with me. God Bless you all and Tony R.I.P.
Dear Jeannie
So sorry for your lose you are in my prayers. God Bless you and your family.
To the entire Trello family. Anything I would say would fall short of who Tony was. He was a friend, inspiration and one of the most genuine men I have ever met. I will always keep close to my heart, the lessons about life I learned from him.
Jean, I am praying for you and your family. Thank you for taking care of this man. Love you guys.
To Jean and the family,
My deepest condolences. I was blessed by getting to know Tony and family for a short time. He was a terrific patient, and his smirk let me know he appreciated my humor. Life is about relationships, short or long, and how they impact us. Tony impacted me by his strong will and care for his family. It was evident he lived a rich full life. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Sincerely, Rodney Griest, RN.

I was saddened to hear that Tony had passed. My condolences to the entire family. I have known Tony and Jean my entire life. Tony was always a friendly and kind person. I have many fond memories of visiting the camp and getting boat rides on Lake George when I was a child. I miss those days.
