Tony will be missed by many people he may be gone but he will never be forgotten.
If only the world had more people like Tony in it honest ,kind, hard worker, quiet to himself type of guy with a good sense of humor and one who fought for our country.
I am honored that I had the time with Tony to care for him in his home and hear all of the stories and allow him to reminisce about his life of childhood, Army and travels, farming, people he had known through the years.
Now he is home with his family may he now rest in piece .
