You will be missed Uncle Tony just as Aunt Vi has been. Forever in our hearts are both of you. I know you are at peace and back with your love Vi. It was a wonderful journey for us all to be blessed with you and Vi in all our lives. A true gentleman.

Uncle Tony, I will miss you and Aunt Vi like no others. You two gave me the greatest memories, and I will forever be grateful for all that you shared with me and my family. My heart aches, but I know you are at peace and happy now. Probably betting an exacta box and having a glass of red wine, and holding Vi's hand. Tally ho the fox!
