I wish to send love and light to my uncle Tony's children and grandchildren. I remember growing up, spending time with Grandma and Grandpa Mike, I'd look out the window and there would pull up uncle Tony in that truck like vehicle, I think it was a ford! He was a wonderful man and I am so blessed to have had him as my family.
