I was so sad to hear about Tony. I worked with him for many years at Hersheys and I will always remember his nice smile and him saying "Hey Porky" in that deep voice he had. My heart goes out to his wife and children. May you someday find peace in your memories of him.

Jason,
I just wanted to let you and the family know that you are all in my heart and prayers through this time and always. A quote that helped heal my heart is...
Rather than mourn the absence of the flame, let us celebrate how brightly it glowed.
God Bless You.
