Dear Patti and Family,
Tony's Memorial Sevice was a testimony of a life well lived for Christ. I can hear the Lord saying "Well done good and faithful friend." I remember, on our Mission trip to the Dominican Republic as we sat on our day off at Catalina Island, you looking around at the beautiful blue Caribbean Sea, the warm sand and swaying palm trees then saying "I wish Tony could be sitting here and enjoying this with me." I now picture Tony saying to our Lord as he is looking around at the awesome beauty he is enjoying and saying "I wish Patti and my family could be here with me." The Lord then says "Soon and Very soon they are going to see the King." Amen!! One of those "Holy Rollers"

As I sit and read this guestbook I realize how much Tony meant to everyone that he ever met.

I met Tony at Unicell. I was working there in 2005/2006 in the Human Resource department and immediately liked him. He was such a wonderful person and just did and said the nicest things at every given chance. He always asked me about my son and how he was doing and even showed me how to weld! He knew everytime I came down to visit that I secretly wanted to work in the shop with all the power tools! He used to call me the tool time girl.

Even after I left Unicell he contacted me to tell me that I was missed and hoped to keep in touch. I am so glad that our paths crossed, even for a brief time. I will always remember Antonio with a smile. He obviously toched so many lives and he will truly be missed.

From what I've read here and from knowing him for the brief time I knew him, he was a wonderful human being...what a great accomplishment in his life.

My thoughts go out to his family... especially his children as I am sure he was an outstanding role model for them.

Dear Walker Family,
No words are enough to express the sorrow and grief you feel. One leans on the words from God who is the true comforter to give you peace and understanding.

For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:38 - 39.
God Bless You and Keep You

Pat, please accept my deepest sympathy for your loss. I was very happy that I had a chance to meet Tony at the reunion. When I saw his picture, I rememebered him and how nice a person I thought that he was. Keep holding to God's unchanging hand and he will bring you through this valley. Know that he is now with the Master and will be watching over you and your family and will see you again in the by and by. Always remember that when God brings you to it, He will bring you through it.
Love, your cousin Anna

Patty, Kenny, Jocelyn & Tony Jr.,
Our hearts our heavy knowing that you are grieving the loss of your husband/father. This is truly a difficult season of your lives, but be assured that our dear Lord is carrying you every step of the way. HIS grace is sufficient in your great time of sadness. Tony was a true man of God and it was evident through his sweet and gentle spirit. Tony was an encourager; one who always wanted to help others and point them to Jesus. What a comfort to know that Tony is now with his Lord Jesus...face to face; and is filled with unspeakable joy, peace and contentment. Tony will be missed on this side of life, but let's celebrate the hope we have in Christ...not only will we be reunited with Tony in heaven some day, but we, as believer's in Christ, will also have eternal peace, joy and contentment when we dwell with Jesus in heaven! We shall grieve on this side of life for a season, but it is just a speck of time before we will see our friend/husband/father etc. again in God's dwelling place. We love you and our prayers are with you.

Notice Tony's 1st in line and Look at the size of his plate!!! God Bless you Tony!!!

Dear Walker Family,
I was never so suprised to hear the news of Tony's passing from fellow co-workers at Unicell Body Co that following morning. I can't even put into words the sorrow and sympathy I feel for you and the family on his passing. I can only say that he was the kindest, gentlest, inspiring and heart warming person I had ever met in my life. I saw him every morning as he drove into work, strolling along through the parking lot, while talking on his Blue-tooth ear peice. He would always shout out a "Morning Jen" to me. I went to him all the time to search out products at work and just to shoot the breeze. He was very easy to talk with and even opened his mind and heart to you. He was the type of person that was non-judgemental and non-racial. He would "ALWAYS" look out for you with his quick wits and words of advise. The morning after his passing, I felt a huge need to do something...anything...to show that I cared. Myself and a fellow employee named Mike made up a flier that we placed in plastic and hung on the parking lot fence that read...."This space is dedicated in Memory of Tony....You will be missed!" We placed it in the parking lot of Unicell where he always parked his truck. Tony always parked at the very end of the lot away from other vehicles. We all use to laugh at him for parking so far away, but now I am glad he did, cause it gave us a way to Memorialize and remember him. Tony earned his wings to heaven at an early age and left so sudden. But he is with God now and will forever be with you and the family he had to leave behind. God Bless you and the family....God has bigger plans for his newly become angel (Tony)....there is a reason for everything that happens to us in life. Even if we can't understand it now during these sorrowful times....his passing changed and effected another persons life in a much better and meaningful way. Keep your faith in God and God will show you his chosen angels amoungst him. I'll Miss You Tony....Forever in my thoughts.

Dear Pat and family, we are so very sorry for your loss. Tony was such a wonderful person. The other day Matthew and I sat and shared some great memories of Tony when he would visit and he was such a nice guy with so much love for you. You can certainly take comfort in knowing Tony is with the Lord and you will see him again. Look up to the Lord and He will give you comfort and strength for the days and weeks ahead. Stay close to family. God Bless you and the children. Our deepest simpathy.

Dear Patty and family,

Our hearts and prayers are with you. We are heart broken for you and your family. We will miss Tony so very much. But I am comforted to know that he is wiht Jesus.
I would like you to know that I believe that God used Tony in my walk with the Lord as He did with many others. I am greatful to God for that. Tony once gave me a gift for no reason at all, just a kind gesture- a book from my favorite author - just because he knew that I would love it and I do. I Everytime I "sniff" a book, I will think of him. God gave us Tony as a gift and the way that he has touched our lives.

I pray that you will have confidence in that God is faithful and will see you through your pain and grief.

Love,
The Burns family

Dear Walker family, We were heart broken to hear what happened. Tony was always so kind to our family, especially little Amelia. He would always talk to her and tell her how he was praying for her. He played such a big role at our church. I will miss walking down the hall and seeing him sitting in the "old Library". He was always smiling when I would see him. Now he is with Jesus. Wow...you and Tony were the first faith visit I ever did. (We got there as you two were about to eat Chinese food...) I love you Patti. God bless you and your children-you are all in our prayers. Love, Nikole Marohn and family

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived
okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here
is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you
every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up
and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were
gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.

There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for
me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's
chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life
on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not
be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.


I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But
one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.


There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a
time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will
give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day
was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the
way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick
him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in
your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember
you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
