TOP SHELF co-founder, keyboardist, and vocalist Tony Caschera passed away on September 2, 2009 at Geisinger Medical Center in Danville, PA surrounded by his loving family and bandmates. Tony was involved in a serious traffic accident on August 3, 2009 and sustained major internal injuries that ultimately claimed his life. He was just 61 years old.
"Tone" loved making music and spent most of his life entertaining. He shared the stage with countless musicians and led his own band, The "V.I.P.'S" for 30 years.
Tony's final gig was at the Benton VFC carnival on July 30, 2009. He always believed that the show must go on, and so we'll continue
to honor his memory by performing his favorite songs. He will be missed. Tony is survived by wife Sandy, three grown children, and
several grandchildren.
"TONE", THANKS FOR ALL THE GOOD TIMES AND GREAT
MUSIC. WE'LL NEVER FORGET YOU! REST IN PEACE...
