Grew up with Tony. Played on my Little League team. Tony was just a great person who really never let anything bother him. Always a kind word. Always had a moment to talk and reminisce of old times. He will surely be missed. So sorry I could not make it to the service but I will always keep Tony in my prayers and thoughts. God Bless You Tony and rest in peace. Semi!!

I never had to spend time in Mr D's office, but he was always the guy I went to for help if I had computer trouble at the school. My two years out at the JVS really gave me a jump start in my health career, and I have him to thank for a wonderful stress-free learning experience at the school. Rest In Peace, Mr. D, thanks for giving me the opportunity I needed to get a jump on my career

To the D'Aurora Family, my condolences on your loss. I have very fond memories of Coach during our 1988 season at Big Red. It was one of the highlights of my baseball career. He was a wonderful coach and he was very concerned about us personally.
Coach is receiving his reward for his strong faith.
God Bless

Teacher, coach, and later colleague. A long time ago, Coach D led a Red Knight baseball team in1981 to a regional final vs. Portsmouth....I'll never forget the rocks he kept in his pocket on that run for luck and his leadership that rainy/sunny day in Zanesville where we never completed the game.
God got a fighter in Coach D up in heaven. Bless his family in this time of their loss.
