I loved Uncle Tony. He was my favorite of my many uncles. He had a warm, fun-loving heart and was a great example of a man who served his community. I have many good memories of Uncle Tony at our Abeyta family reunions. I especially recall the time that at our house in Yakima when he threw several grandchildren into our swimming pool and then they ganged up on him and tossed him in! He came out sopping wet with a big smile on his face. May the angels welcome him to Paradise.
