I was very sorry to hear of Tony's passing.Tony and I were drafted together on July 24,1968 and were in basic training and AIT together at Fort Jackson, South Carolina.Since we were in the same platoon in both basic and AIT, we became very friendly.Tony went to Vietnam before me, as I went to FT Benning before going to Vietnam.Over the years as he was on the police force I would see him to talk for a short time.Tony was proud of his service with the US Army and Vietnam.I am sure that all of you will miss him, he was truely a good guy.My deepest sympathy to all of his family.
