I'm so sorry to hear of Tony's passing. I just found out today. I was the Financial Advisor for Tony and Sharron for many years and they were more like family to me. I loved them both dearly. They were the most loving and sweet couple. It was so hard for Tony to lose Sharon. I rejoice that they are together again, safe in the arms of Jesus.

We are going to miss seeing Tony's smiling face every week at Mass. How lucky we were to have him as a member of our parish! Thank you Tony, for all your work with the Easter egg hunt, and all the other events. You always made us feel welcome and it was always so nice to see you. May God bless you and your family.

Tony will be very missed in our parish, he had a heart as big as the moon, especially when it came to kids. Those are going to take some pretty big shoes to fill...Now he is with Sharron & at peace. Condolences to the family, may God comfort you & help heal your heart.

Tony was the spark that kept us all going At St.marys of the woods! He told me once He was Happy if he made people Happy and He sure did that! GODS Garden will never be the same with out him and the hard work he put in to every thing every tuesday night! He loved his tomato patch and he left it thriving. I know he will always be watching over us. making sure we do it right and we will for him.
