He made us laugh even when we didn’t think we could.” Bridget Moynahan, who shared countless scenes with him, would describe him as “the beating heart of the show’s family dynamic—a man who could make you laugh one minute and break your heart the next.” Beyond his acting, Steven Schirripa was always more than just a performer. His real-life personality—big-hearted, genuine, and endlessly kind—made him a favorite among fans and colleagues alike. He loved good food, good stories, and good company, often blending his Italian heritage into both his characters and his life. His cookbooks, public appearances, and warmth off-screen made him the kind of celebrity who felt like an old friend to everyone. In this imagined farewell, Blue Bloods would dedicate an entire episode to Anthony Abetemarco’s legacy, blending fiction and emotion as the Reagan family gathers to honor one of their own. The dinner table—where so many of the show’s most powerful moments have taken place—would be quieter, the laughter softer, as each character shares a memory of their friend.
