I met Tony in the 1990's through Paragon and Group Living. He was such a happy soul wanting to listen to music and show off his Elvis moves and Michael Jackson too. When he heard I had a CD with the chicken dance on it he just had to have me bring it in so we could party. I am so glad I met Tony. He was a ray of sunshine every time I saw him. So very sorry to hear of Tony's passing.

My heartfelt condolences, love, and prayers are with my Cousins at such a time as this! My memories of Tony extend back to my childhood. He truly gave me a heart and understanding for people with disabilities. His heart was so big! He always wanted a hug. People should take a lesson from him! His legacy will live on in our hearts and minds. This man ran marathons. He didn't let anything stop him. He taught us as kids how to break dance. As you can tell I think my cousin was pretty amazing and special. I will never forget him. Love you Tony! And for Cathy, Eileen, Cindy and Steve, may "God give you the peace that passeth all understanding, Lean not on your own understanding, but in all your ways acknowledge HIM, and HE will direct your paths." Our Heavenly Father will give you the strength to endure such a loss. But such a Heavenly gain! Love you all!!
How you can show support
