Leonardo Antonio Cetola was born in Alberona, a town and comune in the province of Foggia, in the Apulia region of southeast Italy in 1912. After a few years of schooling, he went to work in the fields as a shepherd boy. Even in his young life, his tender heart recognized the beauty of nature and he knew there was a "Creator" he needed to meet. At an early age, he came to America. As the Lord led his willing spirit, he met Christians in New Jersey where he settled. They took him to Gospel meetings and there for the first time he heard the story of the Lord Jesus Christ who died to forgive his sins. Tony readily accepted his place as a sinner and took the Lord to be his own personal Savior. From that point on, his profession was a painter, gardener and maintenance supervisor but his "occupation" was serving the Lord. In a quiet, humble manner, Tony did the little things that needed to be done for the assembly, the saints, his family and friends, never looking for recognition. He was a loving husband caring for Lena's needs and faithfully visiting her in the rest home until his health failed and he joined her there. He was a loving father, grandfather and friend to all who knew him. Above all these wonderful qualities was Tony's shining example of a man who was content with his life simply because Christ was in it. He leaves a legacy of love and faith to all who knew and loved him. He knew and lived this verse from the Bible: But godliness with contentment is great gain. I Tim. 6:6
