Dear Maggie and the Laubach family. Kenny and I have known Tony approx. 25 years and when he found you, Maggie, we shared in his joy and happiness. He found a wonderful person and had his wonderful family and of course the boys. We feel a piece of our heart missing but when we think abount him we know he is guiding us in the right directions and is a constant spirit beside you all. We will see him today, especially in the eyes and faces of those he has loved and mentored all these years. In the coming days, weeks and years we will all get to share your Guradian Angel because in this borrowed life, Tony was always there to give a helping hand or word. God Bless this entire, wonderful family!

Condolences to Maggie and the entire Laubach family. God and his family were always tops on Tony's list.

Tony was an office mate of mine in Silver Spring for almost two years before my family and I located to North Carolina.

His wit, zest for life, faith and compassion for all people were an inspiration for me. Last year when I had hip replacement, he took the time, in the midst of his battle, to send me four books to help pass time during my recovery. No surprise from this compassionate and giving man.

He promised me that he would take me hunting, and I plan on taking him up on that when next I see him.

Farewell for now, dear friend. . .
. . Tony passed on the day of Christ's Resurrection. My hope is in the Resurrection and on seeing my friend again because of it.

June 26, 2014

My love and sympathy to you all. May Tony Rest In Peace.
