Page 6 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, June 17, 2022 Malden Today, Tomorrow and Yesterday – Antonio J Pisaturo 1927-2022 A ntonio J. Pisaturo was the last man standing. So to speak. Hanging around the neighborhood long enough to outlast all the old neighborhood haunts, some cherished friends and family members, and a neighborhood tavern or two. Tony passed away recently a week short of his Law Offices of Terrence W. Kennedy 512 Broadway, Everett • Criminal Defense • Personal Injury • Medical Malpractice Tel: (617) 387-9809 Cell: (617) 308-8178 twkennedylaw@gmail.com 95th birthday but not after raising his wonderful family in the cozy confi nes of (the place that's the best) Edgeworth in Ward 2. A throwback to the days when you found a neighborhood to raise your family then the neighborhood becomes your second family. A man Edgeworth loved, and respected. Tony had more charisma than should be allowed. Gone with Tony are a lifetime of memories. Gone with Tony is the history of a neighborhood. Gone with Tony is another small part of our collective lives. That twinkle in his eyes, that quick smile, and that gift of gab I will always hold near and dear from this old school gentleman. Thank the deity of your choice that we have his wonderful children Joanne, Joey, and Jeannie to carry on his legacy. Antonio "Tony Pez" Pisaturo would have turned 95 years young on June 14th. The Tony Pez and his bride. coolest cat that Edgeworth has ever produced, and Edgeworth has produced some pretty cool cats. My sincerest condolences to his whole family. May his memory be a blessing. Picked up pieces while waiting for the Red Sox to kick into high gear and make a run... • The bike/bus lanes on Route 60. Can we talk?! I'll just throw this out before I make my prediction; on a recent Thursday night after work it took me 30 minutes to get from 7 Jackson St to Robinson's News in Linden through the set of lights taking a right by Eddy's Diner. 30 minutes! I've driven to West Peabody to see my adorable grandchildren in less time than that after work. So, my prediction; the last time we made a blunder of this proportion was when they made the odious decision to place a city hall building in the middle of Pleasant Street. I hope I'm wrong, but... • Heard "Crazy Little Mama at ~ Home of the Week ~ SAUGUS...Beautiful 8 room Split Entry Ranch offers 3 bedrooms, 3 full baths, great open concept, living room with fireplace, diningroom, kitchen with granite counters and island with seating, cathedral ceiling, skylight and ceramic tile flooring, walk out to entertainment-size deck.

Some tears will never dry. This is one of those times. We miss and love you, Vinnie.

Neil took time out of a busy schedule to tell me, “Cornucopia will be open on Saturday nights beginning on June 4th for desserts, pasta dishes, burgers, our famous sandwiches, salads, and breakfast options and goodness only knows what else I can cook up that night!" Great news for Malden! The chicken kebob wrap I had there last week was outta sight!! • Happy May 31st birthday to a long-time friend, City Clerk Greg Lucey. Greg and I shared a locker together in the 7th grade at Beebe Jr High. Spent too many mornings at Schopell's in Malden Square during high school. And played many games of baseball together at Devir Park. Too many memories, all as wonderful as the next. It's a big one Luce but the gray looks good on you! Insert smiley face. • Throwback Friday...according to Billy O'Leary's big brother Bull (O'Leary), Hoss Condon's big brother (the late) Billy (Condon) was the last little leaguer to hit a home run at the old Converse Field. Converse Field was in front of the long-gone Converse Rubber Factory on Pearl Street. In its place today sits Donut Villa, John Brewer's Tavern, and Caldor's. • Bull also says he would take Joe Levine before Cliff Cioffi on his hoop team. Any day! • Oh my! One of the most dazzling front yard flower displays must be at (I believe) 20 Holden Street. Next time you drive by take a peek. Beautiful! MALDEN: TODAY| SEE PAGE 7
