To Tony's Family and Friends,

We are so sorry for your loss. Our deepest sympathies and our prayers are with you all. Tony has helped us with our business for many years in countless ways, big and small. He offered help when we needed it most, which I will never forget. He was always so kind, especially to our children who loved going to "Mr. Tony's" office. It was always fun when he talked with them. I hope you know how much he loved you all and how proud he was, especially of his nieces and nephews and all of your accomplishments. He would always share what was happening with family and vacations, etc. when I would sit in his office. He was full of life and such a giving person. We know he is receiving the rewards of Heaven because of how he lived. May God be with you all and bless you with comfort and peace.

May God hold you in the palm of HIS hand.

For those that I love that God has called home. I miss you. My mind knows that you are in a better place where there is no pain. You are at peace. I understand that, I just wish I could explain it to my heart. There is an empty space in it that nothing will ever fill. I grieve, but I know my tears are for me. We will be together again. Until then, my love will always be with you. The Delta Force misses it's Leader

My thoughts and prayers are with all of them -- I know we will all see Tony again in Heaven! God Bless Tony and his entire family and all his friends.

Dear Horner Family,

I am so sorry to learn about Tony's death. I have fun memories of our 8 years together at SCL and then running into each other at different points in our lives - many which included the functions at the Knights.

May your heavy hearts soon be replaced with fond memories. I pray that Tony's eternal life is the gift that he imagined it to be.

God bless,
