The Trucking Industry has lost one of its best. Tony was a Professional Truck Driver that made a huge impact in the industry. He has touched so many lives and taught so much. The America's Road Team Captians not only lost a fellow Captain, but a dear friend. Our Team was better for having Tony as part of it. There is now a void, but know HE WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN. Tony is now serving the Trucking Industry in another way he is now a Truckering Angel watching over all of us.

Our prayers are with his sweet daughter, strong son, wife, lovely Mother, Father and sister. After meeting you all at the funeral we know why Tony was so special.

God Bless you all,

Dennis & Maryann Day
Fellow ART Captian

To the Sifford family in this time of sorrow.

Be Still

Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.

Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.

If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.

I am glad God allowed Tony to be a part of our lives, during the short time we had to spend with him, here. Our hearts and prayers go out to Gina, and the whole family.

To Leonard and family,
I was very saddened to hear about Tony. I'd never met him or Mrs. Sifford, but I kind of feel like I know them through your stories that you told us when you came by our shop. You are a great friend to the Curtis family and all the boys who work with us. We all send our deepest sympathy to your family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
