Such a ambitious guy who loved to be around everybody and make others laugh! Gonna miss his corky, wild and fun personality. There will never be anyone like Tonto- one of a kind. He had more energy and a motor that could run circles around you. Great softball player and friend! I will miss hearing his many stories- truly will be missed.
