Yoyo, Greg, Toni Marie, and other family members. You know how much I loved and admired Tony. I would like to mote a few of my most special memories. Of course, I begin with our camping and hunting trips to Baja. The campfires were always special. Tony had a NEED to cut firewood whether it was needed or not. And no one ever went hungry or without a drink in Tony's camp(even if the drink was this horrible brown and oxidized wine a friend had given him). When they knew Tony was in camp, the campesinos and vaqueros would send word into town to their families and everyone who could would show up. They were always welcome. And, Greg, I will never forget our hike up to the waterfall where we skinny dipped in a pool with a snapping turtle. Regarding firewood, Tony always had 20 times more firewood around his house than he needed. When I tried to buy some, he refused. But he gave me whatever I needed. And, Yoyo, it was you and Tony who taught me how to can salsa and pickle peppers. I still do it, but not in the same quantities as of yore. My love to everybody, and this world is a lesser place without Tony. I will miss him, but I will not mourn him. I will celebrate his time on this earth and his influence on me. I am a better person for knowing him - and his family.

With great sadness I hear the news of Tony's passing. I'm afraid we lost contact with Tony and Carolyn during my husband's illness. Tony was such a wonderful, kind and gentle person. Which is why he was chosen to be my son's god father. With fond memories, Mary and Cody Gonzalez
