Tony is on our hearts so much even now after 4 years gone on to his heavenly home . We miss him so much . He´s left a huge hole in our hearts although I know he´s watching over us . We all had so much in common horses , music , spirituality , we played music together a lot , rode together a number of times and always discussed things of higher thinking and depth . Boy do we miss those conversations . I know where ever Tony goes he´s blessing some one and I really look forward to seeing him again . He´s always in our hearts .

Tony was my vocal student for two years, but I didn't get anywhere with him the first year...Tony thought that he knew what he needed to work on, so we went around and around about it. I could tell that Tony had a lot of experience as a "boss", and as with all of my students I always did my best to remain respectful and encouraging as I could. What Tony didn't know is that I myself have a lot of experience in training, riding, and the handling of horses...so I knew to not push him too hard, but still get some improvements out of him. Just like with horses, sometimes all we have to do is be still...and wait. The beginning of the 2nd year, I decided to ASK him to humor me and try it the way I know works for my many other students. So, that 2nd year he finally took my instructions and started to apply them in his singing, and I know he is singing beautifully up in heaven in a circle, his horses close by, and a beautiful sunset in the background. Love and miss that stubborn but kind man!

I did not know until this morning 9/12/20 that Toni had passed away..
On Facebook I said it was Toni‘s birthday today so like every year I posted a card to Facebook.
Tony was very special to me. How many of you know me. He was a darn nice cowboy I had ever met. And the best dancer. Had a really good buddy. He was dear to my heart in so many ways. Just want to express my sorrow in finding out that Toni has passed and my prayers go out to all of his family. I think of his horses immediately and no they must be in the hands of somebody loving and kind. I love riding his main horse. The beautiful beautiful Pinto I will never forget her. Callie.
We use the trailer up the horses and he always let me ride her. He said he didn’t let many people rider which always made me feel pretty special. I love you Toni and my day starts with many tears.

Dearest Tony,
Many fond memories of praying together, playing music together and dancing. We always seemed to bump into each other in the most interesting places. We certainly were kindred spirits. Im glad our spirits collided one last time before you heading down to Florida. May you rest easy my brother, may you experience deep peace, pure love and unity with the greater whole.

I was sorry to hear about his illness and now I am heart broken to hear that he died. Tony was such a wonderful man, and I have fond memories of him pushing me through swing dancing classes, horseback riding, and that kind smile of his. He could turn the worse day into something positive.
I wish his family comfort, peace and many happy memories of him to get you all through this difficult time. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

I was his voice teacher. He liked doing things his own way, but eventually would come around. He was kind and well mannered and a joy to be around. I will miss my friend that I had the pleasure of teaching him how to sing better, and wish we had more time to chat as we both shared a love for our horses. I know where he went, and I pray that I can see him again someday. God bless his family as I know how much he will be missed. Fly high Tony! RIP my friend...until we meet again.

We were so honored to know Tony! He was always such a pleasure to have at Grumbellies, whether it be on the stage singing or sitting down listening to others sing with friends! We will miss him so much . We hope after all is over with the virus , that we could do a Memorial Jam in his honor. RIP our friend, you fought a hard battle. Hope you are riding a horse into the sunset singing a song!! Teach them all to line dance in Heaven !!! Love , Irma and Jeff Hamblin , Grumbellies

Such a wonderful man, musician, and Cowboy. He will be dearly missed in our horse community and at every dance or gathering of friends. My family enjoyed his company dearly and he will be missed by so many. Our heart and prayers go out to his family that Tony was so proud of and spoke of so often.
