Antonio M. Garcia, Millennium Broadway
The Union is saddened to announce the passing of our brother “Tonio” Garcia, who worked as a bellman at the Millennium Broadway for over 20 years.
His younger brother Armando, a doorman at the Conrad Hotel, related a few poignant memories of his big brother. “There is so much to say about Antonio. By far he had the biggest smile, and without question he was the loudest joker in the room. Sometimes I felt like I was his big brother - it was our inside joke. My memories of him are like short films that I will watch over and over in my head, and they will forever occupy my dreams. I love and miss him so much, and I sincerely appreciate all his friends and coworkers who enjoyed his company and fun-filled conversations. He will be in our hearts forever and never forgotten.”
