Dad, may you now be well and free. You always think that there will be another day to spend together, until there isn't. Miss you just being there. Love you Dad

Tony ~ A smile larger than the being you were. :-)

You will be greatly missed! Although it sad your "time" was much too soon, it is my hope that you are now free of any and all illnesses and able to be with your mother again.

Heather, Denise, Justin, Sue... My heart is with you all. It is my belief that times such as this are the times that make us stronger, and that tighten the bonds that sometimes begin to separate.

Much love!

Tony-
I will always remember the "little" things you did for Heather and I in our younger days. You were loved unconditionally by your family and you will never be forgotten.

As time goes by, friends come and go and you will surely be missed by me. Sneaking into Point Defiance, late at night on warm summer nights; lying side by side on the wet grass, taking turns making wishes on fallen/shooting starts; I guess for me now it feels just a little better knowing you are there; "Shining Brightly" as Bob Segar would say and now bringing the heavens just a little closer. I will forever remember your smile and your laughter. Love ya, Allie

Tony. Its been 25 years and I am sorry about that. But I will have to say the memories that we shared together, as friends at Point Defiance through the summers and playing pool during the winters will forever be in my "memory book". You made me smile and we couldn't get enough laughter into those crazy weekends. Your smile, your crazy beer fun will forever be en-grained in my heart. Thank you Tony for the best summertime fun a friend could ask for. You were always there with a smile, a shoulder to lean on. I didn't know your wife and children and I wish I had, but knowing you they have to be just as wonderful as you will always be. Rest in peace friend; forever and for always. Allison.....
