Tony Stetzko gone
Devastated to see Posted on the Get well Facebook page that Tony had been moved to Hospice care and passed away this evening. His body could not recover from the induced coma after his pneumonia.
He was a man I will never forget as long I live. I will take me a long time to get over this. May his memories be a blessing to us all. |
Just got the call..........RIP TONES
|
Wow. So shocked to hear, even after last nights notice.
Godspeed Tony. |
Wow. T&P to family and friends......
|
Met Tony on a few occasions....very nice guy. Just terrible. He will not be forgotten.
|
I never met him but held him in the highest regard. I always wanted one of his paintings.
God speed Mr Sketzko. Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device |
His presentations of bass fishing on the beach was the inspiration for me to move up here in 1982 from South Jersey. I'm in a total loss for words.

Fishing for 80''s on needles now. GoD speed

Truly a class act that made a lasting impact on the sport and all that he crossed paths with.

So sad. He and his wife were always so pleasant when I encountered them at the shows. Sorry to all of his friends and family. Definitely a legend and the antithesis of an internet hero.
|
Another one gone too early. Rest easy my friend.
|
RIP Tony. The "Back" will never be the same without you
|
R.I.P.
|
Really bummed about this, I was thinking he could pull through this. The man had a gift, many talents and a genuine nice guy. another gone way too soon. RIP Tony :( Condolences to all his family and friends. He was loved by so many. I had some chances to fish with Tony and will always remember him. I heard the sad news last night at the MSBA meeting. I feel for his son, I hope he is doing ok with this.

Such a great guy, T&P's to his family and close friends. Truly a legend who will be missed...so sad.
|
RIP Tony. Godspeed.
|
Only met him 2 -3 times. He was always nice to me.
RIP. |
He was a great fisherman but an even better man. RIP.

Tonys passing is sad and Unfathomable considering the energy he exuded prior to falling ill.
As a father of young children I am very affected by this due to the age of his son. Just can't imagine dealing with that pain at his age. I realize I am fortunately insulated from feeling that type of sorrow at the age of 40. Feeling terrible for Anton III currently. Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device |
What a shame, T&P to his family, only large now.
|
Wow. Have been following this for a while and I am saddened to hear this. Met him a few times. Interesting fellow, great fisherman. Prayers for his family.
I remember in 1981 reading the fisherman magazine like a bible the moment it came out each week. (living in Mystic back then) And hearing about his record fish. Fishing was outstanding in the fall back then. Lots of large bloated bass. IMO HE holds real all tackle the sb record. He caught his fish off the beach a feat far greater than any boat fish. |
Sad news.
|
Sad news. A true Cape Cod Icon to be remembered
