NORTH ATTLEBORO - It was fitting that the June 19 celebration of Tony Calcia’s life was held at Community Field.
Calcia loved the longtime home of Big Red football located in a quiet neighborhood one block from downtown North Attleboro.
A couple of hundred colleagues, friends and members of the Calcia family gathered on the home side of Community Field the morning of June 19 to hear from a cross-section of the thousands of people he impacted during his life.
Calcia passed away on March 27 of last year. COVID limited services at the time to immediate family, denying many the chance to pay their respects.
Fifteen months later, the town Calcia loved finally had a chance to show how much they loved him back.
Seven speakers shared reflections representing various stages of his life, often prompting laughter and also a few tears.

The celebration of Calcia's life can be seen in its entirety starting July 2 on North TV's Community Channel: Comcast channel 15 and Verizon channel 24.
The tribute can also be streamed for viewing at any time by becoming a North TV Insider.
