Deepest sympathy to the family of Antonio ' Tony" Scarcelli. For over forty years , Tony provided quality customer service utilizing his skills in barbering and my late father was among his many loyal and devoted patrons at the WVU Medical Center Barbershop until Tony's retirement from there. Not only did Tony demonstrate skilled barber techniques, but he combined those skills with ( perhaps more importantly) the gift of friendship, sharing communication with his friends/customers, insight and perspective, humor and stories from his life expereinces and living in the Osage and Morgantown communities. He shared love of his family, friends and community and that rapport with patrons kept them returning for additional sessions with Tony , not just to obtain a haircut. Through his business contacts and through associations with others, Tony endured himself into the memories and hearts of many who will miss him and long continue to remember his generosity of spirit and kindness. May his family gain comfort from retelling of stories and shared good times for they will comfort now and into the days ahead and assist in keeping Tony's memory alive in the hearst and minds of all who knew him. He was a proud father and grandfather and great grandfather . He knew what it was like to work hard and strive for attaining goals, and his drive and persistence was an example for others to emulate. Know you and your family will be in the thoughts and prayers of many- from a fellow class mate of his daughter Janet of the Morgantown High School Class of 1976. Tony instilled those same traits of friendship, hard work and devotion to family and community into each of his family members. Keeping you and all in our hearts and minds now- peace be with each of you.
