Our Deepest Sympathy for the loss of Tony. I was driving by Sellars & saw his name & had to looked it up to see if it was him such a shock. I always saw him at Stylemasters with his Mom and Aunt. The last time i saw him was at Kroger and he was telling me about his new Mustang.J.L. worked with him at Ford. He will be truly missed!!!!
