Dear Butch and family,
Tony was one of those seemingly indestuctable guys. I have great memories and he sure could butcher the English language but we always knew what he meant. God Bless

Tony was a fantastic host and advice giver! My family was always welcomed with open arms at all the gatherings. He barbequed while we splashed in his pool! Generous, fun times and intuitive are words that remind me of Tony. You will be missed.
