  1. Oh Man! 😱A friend of mine informed me of this while I was shopping in my store this morning! 😪😪😪😪😪…Although Tony lived a long & special life; I am TRULY broken-hearted 💔💔💔💔💔…He is among a group of performers that I am VERY FAMILIAR WITH because of my parents/family…When we had parties, they would play & dance to his music! My parents would slow dance to his ballads & that of many other popular artists of his era (primarily 30’s-70’s)…My parents wouldn’t miss his live performances & saw him perform in places such as Atlantic City, NJ & NYC…Mr. Tony Bennett; you are now a Marvelous Angel with MASSIVE WINGS!!! Rest in POWER SIR !🙏🏽😘🥰🤗

  2. Gosh, he will be missed. I use to love and reminisce when I heard Tony Bennett's song, "I left my heart in San Francisco." I think a lot of San Franciscans from prior decades use to feel that way.

  3. Crisco (pointing at the picture of The Mask): There! That is the savage! He ruined my performance with his pluckage. Ruined it, ruined it!

    Detective Doyle: Aw, gee, well, that's too bad. It Looks like you put on a real nice show.

    Lt. Mitch Kellaway: Listen, pal. There's no way what you do could be called a performance. Mr. Tony Bennett…now that's a performer!

  4. Ephesians 2:8-9

    8 For by God's grace are we saved through faith; not by works, (or being a firefighter or law enforcement or a hero or a marine or a veteran or a war hero or dying for your country or actor or puppeteer or News reporter/anchor or a soul singer or killed by a terrorist or a sports hero or our heritage or ethnic background or a fashion designer or engineer or a rock star or bodybuilder or a writer or cooking show host or walk into a room and lite up a room with their smile or a pioneer or a trail blazer or trending or a legend or a super pop star or bounty hunter or race car driver or football coach or country music singer or basketball star or civil rights leader or being modest or being humble or a Disney star actor or game show host or making people laugh or making people happy or never killing anyone) 9 it is the free gift of God, not that anyone can boast of their salvation." Eternity will not be about any of us or what we have done. It will all be about Jesus Christ who died on a cross to save us from our sins. We all deserve hell and then the Lake of Fire that burns with sulphur and fire on Judgement day.

    1 John 2:15-17 New Living Translation

    15 Do not love this world nor the things it offers you, for when you love the world, you do not have the love of the Father in you. 16 For the world offers only a craving for physical pleasure, a craving for everything we see, and pride in our achievements and possessions. These are not from the Father, but are from this world. 17 And this world is fading away, along with everything that people crave. But anyone who does what pleases God will live forever.

    James 4:4 New Living Translation

    4 You adulterers! Don’t you realize that friendship with the world makes you an enemy of God? I say it again: If you want to be a friend of the world, you make yourself an enemy of God."

    Mark 8:36 New Living Translation

    36 And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul?

  5. Sorry, Tony, these days it's hardly your heart you leave in SF, now it's more likely you leave your stolen wallet, your trashed car, or your poor nose over smelly sidewalks.
