Tony & I walked a few miles together over the years both at the bakery and in life outside of work. Our friendship began in H.S. and carried on thru the years. Even tho I moved to WA, we remained good friends.
I'm sending my love to all of the family & pray that the Lord will heal your broken heart's.

Family of Tony, I'm sure Tony will be greatly missed , he was a wonderful and caring person. I'm sorry to say I was a regular at Carrows for many years and never knew his name, and sadly found out today I went to school with him and Vic and also hung around them when they were members of the "CHANCELLORS" I'm sure he will be missed by all at Carrows and every one else that ever knew him.

Robert and I became friends with Tony several years ago sitting together at the counter at Carrow's. He was a great guy, always there to offer help or advice (or getting toys out of that machine!) We'll miss visiting with you, my friend. Our love and prayers to your family.
