To the Lujan family especially Rose and Goofy. I remember Tony well espcially when he play baseball with my Dad Lou Pierotti. When I came home to visit and would go to church I always saw Rose and Tony at the 9 am mass and the last time I saw him was at my father Rosary in March of 2015. My he rest in peace. Marilee Pierotti Lau.

I am so sorry to hear of Tony's passing. I barely remember Tony, Benny and Felix. One of them was named Goofy. I remember Noe who was my baseball coach when I played in the Babe Ruth League. Our field was South of the little league field....new at the time. I can't remember our team's name? The ages for that league, I think, was 13,14, and 15 years. American Legion age was 16,17, and 18 years.

Bernie,
We were so saddened by Tony’s passing, he was a kind soul. Although we didn’t know him well, he always took the time to chat, be it at work or the grocery store. Our conversations were always about you, Elysha and Sasha; you could see the sparkle in his eyes . He was so proud of you all!

Antonio: You have arrived at a phase in our lives that no one knows a thing about it. What we do know is that all living matter has an expiration date as no one escapes this particular scene. This is why we must live our lives to the fullest and love those near and dear to us as I know you did this daily. I am proud to have been a friend, and I cherish our fun times together in high school and thereafter. May you enjoy eternal peace. Tu Amigo, Dimas Chavez.

Family of Tony Lujan, So very sorry to hear of the passing of your beloved husband, father, grandfather and friend Tony. I worked with him on many projects at the lab and even thou we didn’t see eye to eye on some of our own rules we always managed to put our differences aside and continue our work. You always had us laughing on all the stories you would share with us, so at times we will always remember you and your GREAT stories to get us through the day. Know that you all will be in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Tony as you now started your journey to your heavenly home may our dear lord Jesus Christ welcome you with open arms as you are reunited with all your family that had gone before you. God bless you all and may Tony now Rest In eternal Peace.
Sincere condolences,
Leroy Sanchez
