When People Go Missing
Tony Mannetta June 24 1957-October 5 2021
You hear it all the time. You do it anyway.
Passing time, shooting the breeze, walking down the road.
You hear it all the time.
Wind in the trees, waves on the beach.
NYCÂ streets, Catskill Valleys, Adirondack Mountains, Atlantic Ocean. Long Island. Brooklyn.
You feel them in your bones and see them without closing your eyes.
You hear it all the time.
Then you get hit by that damn phone call.
You hear it all the time.
Don’t take anything or anyone for granted.
You hear it all the time and you still wander down these streets.
Take your chances, open your heart, brave the wind.
You hear it all the time.
Love is all there is.

My heart is broken but these songs will always remind me of you Tony.
From those many Talking Heads nights to you sleeping thru Rockpile at The Ritz to Buster at Tramps and all those days in high school where you became my brother.
If anyone would like to contribute to some major medical expenses left to his widow Christine…please see link below. Tony lived in NY. He had no insurance. His passing was after a prolonged so called routine surgery.
Don’t take anything for granted.
